+/// Inserts a line break.
+///
+/// Advances the paragraph to the next line. A single trailing line break at the
+/// end of a paragraph is ignored, but more than one creates additional empty
+/// lines.
+///
+/// # Example
+/// ```example
+/// *Date:* 26.12.2022 \
+/// *Topic:* Infrastructure Test \
+/// *Severity:* High \
+/// ```
+///
+/// # Syntax
+/// This function also has dedicated syntax: To insert a line break, simply write
+/// a backslash followed by whitespace. This always creates an unjustified
+/// break.
+#[elem(title = "Line Break")]
+pub struct LinebreakElem {
+    /// Whether to justify the line before the break.
+    ///
+    /// This is useful if you found a better line break opportunity in your
+    /// justified text than Typst did.
+    ///
+    /// ```example
+    /// #set par(justify: true)
+    /// #let jb = linebreak(justify: true)
+    ///
+    /// I have manually tuned the #jb
+    /// line breaks in this paragraph #jb
+    /// for an _interesting_ result. #jb
