To use this, copy dinkus.sty to your project directory. Has some basic
usability tricks, such as reasonable prevention of bad pagebreaks and easily
tunable vskips.
Then this:
\usepackage{dinkus}... and this:
...some text...
\dinkus
...more text...
\asterism
...even more text...... produces something like:
Use \centerbreak or \textbreak to define your favorite dinkuses, and
redefine \textbreaktopskip and \textbreakbottomskip to fix up spacing.
Books are nicer with dinki! (Is that a plural of a dinkus?)
