+<paragraph role="paragraph" id="par_id3150249" xml-lang="en-US">To accomplish this, you must define empty groups and character strings. They do not require any space, but carry information that helps in the alignment process.</paragraph>
+<paragraph role="paragraph" id="par_id3153912" xml-lang="en-US">To create empty groups, enter curly brackets <emph>{}</emph> in the Commands window. In the following example, the goal is to achieve a line break so that the plus signs are beneath one another, even though one less character is entered in the upper line:</paragraph>
+<paragraph role="smathcode" id="par_id3153246" xml-lang="en-US" localize="false">a+a+a+{} newline {}{}{}{}{}a+a+a+a</paragraph>
+<paragraph role="paragraph" id="par_id3143229" xml-lang="en-US">Empty character strings are a simple way to ensure that texts and formulas are left-aligned. They are defined using double inverted commas "" . Make sure you do not use any typographic inverted commas. Example:</paragraph>
