[PyX-devel] [PATCH] advertise usage of \linebreak rather than \newline

linebreaks causes many problems with the alignment of parboxes.
\linebreak is the correct way to force a line break without destroying
alignment.

 !! Note that the alignment features are implemented in such a way, that they work
 in both, TeX and LaTeX mode. Furthermore, you can always influence the
 alignment of the box contents by appropriate TeX and LaTeX commands as well.
