PARAGRAPHS

Paragraphs are text with a blank line above and below, no indenting of text

   Indeed space before an indented paragraph gets removed

Some paragraphs can be very long - "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat. Duis aute irure dolor in reprehenderit in voluptate velit esse cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur. Excepteur sint occaecat cupidatat non proident, sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt mollit anim id est laborum."

To force a line break in text add 2 spaces at a line ending  
this breaks the line  
into bits
