So there!<br><br><br>chris<br><br>> Do we lose a great<br>> deal if we fail to identify each and every paragraph visually ?<br><br>Yes: a logical paragraph is neither more nor less than a unit of text that should be clearly and consistently distinguished by the design. It 'should be' used<br>to contain a single idea if one follows the rules of good writing style as in Wikipedia but it is not defined by the idea; if it were
then any text in which more than one idea is intertwined within sentences would have paragraphs that do not consist of complete sentences; whilst such text may be bad style, it is grammatically correct and still needs splitting into paragraphs.<br><br>> Should not the /content/ make it plain what is, and what<br>> is not, a paragraph ? <br><br>Definitely not: a subset distinguished only by its content is not and never will be called a paragraph. Visual splitting into paragraphs helps identify the stucture and hence the details of the content,never the other way round.<br> <br></div><br></div></div><br>
