Syntax

This function also has dedicated syntax: To insert a line break, simply write a backslash followed by whitespace. This always creates an unjustified break.

Parameter
Parameter
Parameters are input values for functions. Specify them in parentheses after the function name.

linebreak()->

justify
Settable
Settable
Settable parameters can be set using the set rule, changing the default value used thereafter.

Whether to justify the line before the break.

This is useful if you found a better line break opportunity in your justified text than Typst did.

Default value:

false

Show example
#set par(justify: true)
#let jb = linebreak(justify: true)

I have manually tuned the #jb
line breaks in this paragraph #jb
for an _interesting_ result. #jb
