new paragraph

Text block break

New paragraph is a command or direction to begin a fresh paragraph, used when dictating text or giving formatting instructions.

The phrase signals a break in thought and tells the transcriber or software to start the next sentence on a new line with appropriate indentation: She dictated the letter, saying "new paragraph" between sections.
