-The @code{\\} command tells @LaTeX{} to start a new line.  It has an
-optional argument, @var{morespace}, that specifies how much extra

-The @code{\\*} command is the same as the ordinary @code{\\} command

+Start a new line.  The optional argument @var{morespace} specifies extra
+vertical space to be insert before the next line.  This can be a
+negative length.  The text before the break is set at its normal length,
+that is, it is not stretched to fill out the line width.
+
+Explicit line breaks in the text body are unusual in @LaTeX{}.  This
+command is more often used outside of the main flow of text, such as in
+a tabular or array environment.
+
+Under ordinary circumstances (e.g., outside of a @code{p@{..@}} column
+of a tabular environment) a synonym for double-backslash (@code{\\}) is
+the @code{\newline} command (@pxref{\newline}).
+
+The starred form @code{\\*} in addition tells @LaTeX{} not to start a
+new page between the two lines, by issuing a @code{\nobreak}.
