Frequently asked questions

What counts as a paragraph?

A paragraph is a non-empty block separated by a blank line (two line breaks). Single line breaks inside a block stay in the same paragraph.

Are empty lines counted?

Empty lines separate paragraphs; they are not counted as paragraphs themselves.
