Frequently Asked Questions
How are paragraphs defined?
A paragraph is a block of text separated from other blocks by one or more blank lines (empty lines between text).
Does a single line break create a new paragraph?
No. Only blank lines (double line breaks) separate paragraphs. Single line breaks within a block count as one paragraph.
What if my text has no blank lines?
The entire block counts as one paragraph. Add blank lines between sections if you want separate paragraph counts.
