Paragraphs and Blank Lines

The distinguishing thing about a paragraph is that there is nothing else distinguishing about it: unlike headings, lists and other Markua elements, a paragraph requires no special formatting. To create a new paragraph, you add two newlines to create a blank line.

Here’s an example of this in Markua syntax. These are three paragraphs in Markua, each separated by the canonical two newlines which produce one blank line:

I'm paragraph one. Yay!

This is paragraph two.

This is paragraph three.

There are other more technical rules about spaces, newlines and indentation, which are discussed later.
