I know that if you define a width in a table's column, you can get automatic word-wrapping. However, I need to control where newlines should happen in a specific table cell.
Thus, how can I insert manual line breaks in a LaTeX table cell?

\newline works to break a line within a cell in tabularx environment.
The line break code allows data to be split into multiple lines. Place the line break code <BR> within the text at the point(s) you want the line to break.
The vertical bars in the argument of the tabular environment tell LaTeX to separate those columns with a vertical line, and the \hline command creates a horizontal line right across the table; if you only the horizontal line across certain columns you can use the \cline command and tell it which columns you want,e.g. .
The \\ and \newline commands break the line at the point of insertion but do not stretch it. The \linebreak command breaks the line at the point of insertion and stretches the line to make it of the normal width.
Usually, you use a column definition like p{3cm} instead of l, and then use \newline instead of \\ in the cell body.
