Template:Paragraph break/doc

Usage
This template produces a "visual paragraph break" using an empty  tag pair.

Example:


 * Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.

produces:


 * Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.

Purpose
In some instances, it is not possible to introduce paragraph breaks using newlines alone. For example, within a list item and within references. However, using &lt;p&gt; tags can cause problems for navigation with screen readers, which expect these tags to delimit paragraphs of prose. This template is used mostly in footnotes, where a visual break is desired, without adding an additional paragraph navigation point.

Example 1
The following reference uses line breaks for multiple lines. The following reference uses the paragraph break template for paragraph breaks. The following reference uses &lt;br&gt; tags for paragraph breaks.

Notes

Example 2
Consider the following list
 * 1) Paragraph 1a  Paragraph 1b
 * 2) Paragraph 2

which was generated using
 * 1) Paragraph 1a  Paragraph 1b
 * 2) Paragraph 2
