| Coercing line breaks Line-break character If you ever need to break a line at a specific point, there is a special line-break character you can use: ¬It it at position #172 in the standard ISO-8859-1 character set. In Microsoft Windows, for example, you can write this character by typing 0172 on the 10-key pad while holding down the Alt key. You may also be able to cut & paste it from a “key caps” or “character map” program. Automatic line breaks If you want to write a large block of text and force a line-break at the end of each line, you can prefix each line with a colon (:) in column 1, followed by a space. For example, this:
displays like this: Twinkle, twinkle, little star How I wonder what you are Up above the world so high Like a diamond in the sky Twinkle, twinkle, little star How I wonder what you are This might be useful, for example, for writing down poetry or music lyrics. If you wanted your lines to show in italics, you could surround each line by a pair of curly braces, like this:
or, as a shortcut, you could use a semicolon (;) in column 1 instead of a colon. For example, this:
displays like this: Twinkle, twinkle, little star How I wonder what you are Up above the world so high Like a diamond in the sky Twinkle, twinkle, little star How I wonder what you are |
