Merci! Here is a summary: - none of \\ \linebreak or \newline change a paragraph, they just start a new line - with \linebreak, LaTeX tries to justify the resulting text, not with \newline - \linebreak can take an argument to let LaTeX decides whether the line should be broken or not. The default \linebreak always triggers a break, but \linebreak[2] will let LaTeX decides depending on whether the result is acceptable or not, and \linebreak[0] prevents any line break... - \\ can take two arguments: one star and one digit. The star prevents the line break to trigger a page break, and the digit lets you add a vertical space between the two lines. In environments like \flushleft \flushright \centering \raggedleft \raggedright, \\ doesn't have its normal definition (whereas \newline behaves normally). - \newline is the version of \\ with no argument HTH, -- Bastien
