I am using zwpagelayout
(see this question) but if I put a minipage
with a line or paragraph break, I get weird two-page output.
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[papersize={,10.5in},spine=1in,cropmarks,textwidth=7in,topmargin=.5in,leftmargin=0in,nopagenumbers,color]{zwpagelayout}
\begin{document}
\pagestyle{empty}
\hbox to \textwidth{%
\vbox to \textheight{\hsize \UserWidth \centering
\begin{minipage}{5in}
This\\
Overflows
\end{minipage}
}\hss
\vbox to \textheight{\hsize \CropSpine \centering
}\hss
\vbox to \textheight{\hsize \UserWidth \centering
}\hss}
\end{document}
How do I use linebreaks in a minipage
in this case?

As David said in the comments, just a minipage is enough. Although this is omitted in many tutorials, you can also fix the height of the minipages, so you do not need at all vertical boxes of
\textheight
, since it is possible for a minipage take even the complete text area of a single page (for example, to make the cover).
