Breaking Lines

Ordinarily, Windows Help wraps all lines in a paragraph, fitting as many words on a line as will fit between the current left and right indents. You can force Windows Help to break a line at a given place by using the \line statement. You can control wrapping by using the \keep and \pard statements.

The following example uses the \keep statement to turn off word wrapping for three short lines and uses the \pard statement to restore the default properties:

\keep
3 pairs black socks\line
5 pairs blue socks\line
2 pairs brown socks\line
\par
\pard
 

The following example uses the \keep and \pard statements to create three nonwrapping paragraphs:

\keep
3 pairs black socks
\par
5 pairs blue socks
\par
2 pairs brown socks
\par
\pard
