# Paragraph utilities

The menu Blocks and Dividers contains some functions for manipulating paragraphs.

Insert Line Breaks
Inserts a <BR> tag at the end of each line in a selection. To use this, first select the text where you want the <BR> tags. For example, the text

    one line of text
    another line of text
    a third line of text

will be changed to

    one line of text<BR>
    another line of text<BR>
    a third line of text<BR>

Remove Line Breaks
Removes all <BR> elements in a selection (not only the ones at end of lines). To use this, first select the text where you want to remove the <BR> tags. This is the opposite of the functions above. For example, the text

    one line of text<BR>
    another line of text<BR>
    a third line of text<BR>

will be changed to

    one line of text
    another line of text
    a third line of text

Insert Paragraphs
Inserts <P> elements at each empty line in a selection, and one just before the selection. To use this, first select the text where you want the <P> elements. For example, the text

    blah blaha
    more text

    and yet some more
    and <B>this is bold</B>

will be changed to

    <P>
    blah blaha
    more text
    </P>

    <P>
    and yet some more
    and <B>this is bold</B>
    </P>

Alpha will recognize if you have chosen not to use closing tags for the P element and in this case not insert any closing tags.
