In latex-mode it'd be good if \pagebreak[0] was a paragraph separator, as for example Blah blah \ pagagraph blah blah. / \pagebreak[0] \begin{align} ... An unconditional \pagebreak is already a separator, but not when an optional arg [0] or [3] etc. Perhaps digits and brackets like below. Only some of the "space" "skip" and "page" commands matched take optional args like this, but allowing for all shouldn't hurt. 2014-11-12 Kevin Ryde * textmodes/tex-mode.el (latex-mode): In paragraph-separate allow optional argument [0] etc for \pagebreak[0]
