 Making and Preventing Breaks
 ****************************
 
   Usually, a Texinfo file is processed both by TeX and by one of the
 Info formatting commands.  Line, paragraph, or page breaks sometimes
 occur in the `wrong' place in one or other form of output.  You must
 ensure that text looks right both in the printed manual and in the Info
 file.
 
   For example, in a printed manual, page breaks may occur awkwardly in
 the middle of an example; to prevent this, you can hold text together
 using a grouping command that keeps the text from being split across
 two pages.  Conversely, you may want to force a page break where none
 would occur normally.  Fortunately, problems like these do not often
 arise.  When they do, use the break, break prevention, or pagination
 commands.
