\pagebreak

Summary

The command \pagebreak (or it's more commonly used alias \page) is used for inserting a page break.

+number add this many page breaks (inserting blank pages)
default same as yes
reset reset the disable command
disable ignore the next \page command

no when possible, avoid page break (This only works in vertical mode, so you might need to insert a paragraph break or \par before the \page command)
makeup force a new page, without filling the current page with whitespace
blank insert a blank page (no page numbers, but with headers and footers); (sometimes \page[yes, blank] is required?)
