paragraph break
Section division marker
A paragraph break is the space or line separating one paragraph from another.
In print, this might be a blank line or an indented first line.
In digital writing, paragraph breaks are created by pressing Enter or Return.
The term often appears in editing contexts: Add a paragraph break here for clarity.
Without paragraph breaks, text becomes a wall of words.
