Forcing a Line Feed


I wonder if anyone can offer a solution to this problem?

Normally, to get text on a new line I'd write the following 

        <para>This is on line 1</para>
        <para>This is on the next line down</para>

As Norm has recognised (and described in the description for <cmdsynopsis> 
in DB:TDG), it is sometimes necessary to force a line feed explicitly to 
guarantee correct formatting. To this end, the <sbr> tag is available as a 
child in some elements.

I want to be able to do the <sbr> thing in a <para>. ie. Force a line feed 
within my paragraph.

        eg. <para>Here is my paragraph and this is an 
<inlinemediaobject>...</inlinemediaobject><sbr>and now I want this on a 
new line after the image which must be in-line</para>

I've looked at using one of the standard entity refs but there isn't a 
&lf; (or whatever it might be called) though this would seem the most 
reasonable approach.

        eg. <para>Here is my paragraph and this is an 
<inlinemediaobject>...</inlinemediaobject>&lf;and now I want this on a new 
line after the image which must be in-line</para>

Any ideas?

TIA
