Text Formatting ⇒ Consecutive linebreaks

[kultiza]

How do I go on about adding X number of consecutive linebreaks?

Hi kultiza,

welcome to the board!
You could use \vspace, for instance

Code: Select all

\vspace{5\baselineskip}

or some other value using other units.

Thanks, Stefan! Works like a charm

This doesn't work for arbitrary X but if, for example, you're just looking to make a subsectional break like the stuff in books, I'd use

\subsection*{}

You should note that in case that the length \parindent is different from Zero this yields an inconsistent new paragraph which is not indented.
