# Line & Page Breaking

The first thing LaTeX does when processing ordinary text is to translate your input file into a string of glyphs and spaces. To produce a printed document, this string must be broken into lines, and these lines must be broken into pages. In some environments, you do the line breaking yourself with the `\\` command, but LaTeX usually does it for you.

- \\: Start a new line.
- \- (hyphenation): Insert explicit hyphenation.
- \cleardoublepage: Start a new right-hand page.
- \clearpage: Start a new page.
- \enlargethispage: Enlarge the current page a bit.
- \fussy: Be fussy about line breaking.
- \hyphenation: Tell LaTeX how to hyphenate a word.
- \linebreak: Break the line.
- \newline: Break the line prematurely.
- \newpage: Start a new page.
- \nolinebreak: Don't break the current line.
- \nopagebreak: Don't make a page break here.
- \pagebreak: Please make a page break here.
- \sloppy: Be sloppy about line breaking.
