I do not understand: if we break the line and display as justified in one case and ragged in the other one, why does the line lenght metter.

Who has an idea of what the difference is between a "Line break" and a "New line"? The fact that it is documented in some subsection of some manual is not enough. The interface should be somehow be self-explaining for a task as trivial as breaking a line. JMarc
