Frequently Asked Questions

Will it merge my paragraphs into one block?

No. A blank line between two paragraphs is treated as a real break and is preserved. Only the line breaks inside a paragraph are removed.

What about text with no blank lines at all?

It becomes a single paragraph, which is the expected result when every break was a wrap.
