<p>A line beginning with and containing only <code class="code">@sp <var class="var">n</var></code>
generates <var class="var">n</var> blank lines of space in both the printed manual and
the Info file. <code class="code">@sp</code> also forces a paragraph break. For
example,
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example-preformatted">@sp 2
</pre></div>
<p>generates two blank lines.
</p>
<p>The <code class="code">@sp</code> command is most often used in the title page.
