How to Use BREAK
If you are using the SET JOIN ON command, TFORM determines where to
break the lines of your text, using the line length you provide in your
STYLE commands. You can override the automatic joining feature with the
BREAK command to tell TFORM where to break lines or paragraphs in
particular places. Placing the BREAK command on its own line
immediately following the spot where you want the text broken causes
TFORM to execute a carriage return and resume formatting on the next line.
If you specify BREAK PARAGRAPHS, TFORM breaks the line where the
command occurs, adds a paragraph gap, and creates a paragraph
indentation before resuming formatting.
Tips
A trigger character by itself has the effect of the BREAK command.
BREAK PARAGRAPHS signals the start of a new paragraph as well as
causing a line break.
In addition to their own functions, the commands CENTER, DEFINE,
KEEP, SET, SPACE, and VERBATIM also cause mandatory line breaks
when they appear.
The commands FOOTER, HEADER, NEW, STYLE, and TITLE also
cause line breaks and cause paragraph breaks in the same way as a
blank line does.
