15.1 Break Commands
===================

The break commands create or allow line and paragraph breaks:

'@*'
     Force a line break.

'@sp N'
     Skip N blank lines.

'@-'
     Insert a discretionary hyphen.

'@hyphenation{HY-PHEN-A-TED WORDS}'
     Define hyphen points in HY-PHEN-A-TED WORDS.

  These commands hold text together on a single line:

'@w{TEXT}'
     Prevent TEXT from being split and hyphenated across two lines.

'@tie{}'
     Insert a normal interword space at which a line break may not
     occur.

  The pagination commands apply only to printed output, since other
output formats do not have pages.

'@page'
     Start a new page.

'@group'
     Hold text together that must appear on one page.

'@need MILS'
     Start a new page if not enough space on this one.
