4.2 Paragraph Commands

A paragraph may be delimited by a blank line or a line beginning with "'" or ".", in which case the delimiting line is not part of the paragraph. Other characters may be paragraph delimiters in some modes. A line with at least one leading whitespace character may also introduce a paragraph and is considered to be part of the paragraph. Any fill-prefix which is present on a line is disregarded for the purpose of locating a paragraph boundary. [annotate]
