What is the purpose of the optional argument of \linebreak? What is the difference between \linebreak and \linebreak[1]?

MWE:

\documentclass{article}

\begin{document}

test\linebreak test


test\linebreak[1] test

\end{document}
  • I think it's explained elsewhere on the site. Basically, \linebreak is the same as \linebreak[4] and means “break here, no discussion about it”; with \linebreak[0] you simply mark a possible break point, overriding TeX's default rules if necessary; \linebreak[1], \linebreak[2] and\linebreak[3]` set “more desirable” break points. – egreg May 03 '19 at 10:51
  • @egreg Thanks for the explanation! Makes perfect sense! –  May 03 '19 at 10:53
