Frequently Asked Questions

How does the tool define a paragraph?
A paragraph is defined as a block of text separated from the next block by one or more blank lines. This matches the most common paragraph formatting convention in plain text.
Does a single blank line count as a paragraph separator?
Yes. One or more consecutive blank lines are treated as a single paragraph separator, consistent with how most word processors and text editors handle paragraph breaks.
Why would I need to count paragraphs?
Paragraph count is useful when following content guidelines (e.g., "no more than 3 paragraphs per section"), balancing the structure of a document, or checking readability metrics.
