How to Force a Page Break in LaTeX
The fix
To force a new page in LaTeX use \newpage. Use \clearpage when you also want all pending floats (figures and tables) output before the break — useful at the end of a chapter. \pagebreak breaks but stretches the current page to fill it; prefer \newpage for a clean break.

\newpage % start a new page
% Flush floats too (end of chapter):
\clearpageFrequently asked questions
What is the difference between \newpage and \clearpage?
\newpage starts a new page; \clearpage does that and also forces all queued figures and tables to print first. Use \clearpage when floats are piling up.
What does \pagebreak do differently?
\pagebreak breaks the page but justifies the current page vertically (stretching gaps to fill it). \newpage leaves the page as-is. For a clean look use \newpage.
