I would like to know how to force a gap say in this instance:
\subsection{$K\nsubseteq L$}<br> [Line break here]<br> In the next three results that follow, ... Naively using \newline or equivalently \\ gives the message "no line to end". I can understand the error message but I'm not sure how to get around it. Is there another command I could use?
I apologise if I've double posted, let me know and I'll delete it. THANKS!
You might try
\subsection{$K\nsubseteq L$}~\\ In the next three results that follow, ... which should do the work for you. You also can redefine the subsection heading style in your preamble to add a linespace after it to make it automatic in all you file.
Here is how a subsection is defined for the report class.
\def\subsection{\@startsection{subsection}{2}{\z@}% {-3.25ex\@plus -1ex \@minus -.2ex}% {1.5ex \@plus .2ex}% {\normalfont\large\bfseries}} In your preamble you should then add the following to modify it:
\makeatletter \def\subsection{\@startsection{subsection}{2}{\z@}% {-3.25ex\@plus -1ex \@minus -.2ex}% {3ex \@plus .2ex}% {\normalfont\large\bfseries}} \makeatother You can customize the space between the subsection header and the beginning of the subsection by adjusting the value 3 in {3ex \@plus .2ex}%.
If you want to force a line break, you could always create a new line and fill it with something blank, e.g.:
\hspace{1 mm} \\
