Paragraph
A paragraph is a block of continuous text. A paragraph always starts at a new line.
Paragraphs are visibly separated from other paragraphs. For example the
first line of every paragraph can be
indented or the
margin
between two
paragraphs is greater than between ordinary lines.
In Writer you start a new paragraph by typing at the start of a new line and end it
with the "Enter"-key. The end of a paragraph is optionally marked by a
nonprinting
"¶" character, the paragraph mark.
