Hi Michael, We just discussed this at a pyx dev weekend. Sorry for coming back to this email after such a long time of silence. While I totally agree with you in that "\\" to be considered harmful. However, I'm rather unsure whether \linebreak is the proper solution. I always suggest to use real paragraphs to generate breaks, as it creates separate vertical material in TeX. While I do understand your intention, I'm not sure whether we should document your solution. As it's a TeX problem, we may better not comment on that at all rather than proposing a wrong solution.
