Causing a Break in the Data

To cause a break in the data you have entered in power typing mode, type a line-end character just before the place in the text where you want the break. The default line-end character is a pound sign (#). Use the pound sign to signify the start of a new paragraph or to set off a SCRIPT/VS control word.

For example, suppose you type the following data in power typing mode:

.sp#A pound sign causes the data to start on a new line.#.sp

The data is entered in the file as:

===== .sp
===== A pound sign causes the data to start on a new line.
===== .sp
