It would be nasty to implement because you wouldn't know when you saw the @image whether it should be part of a new paragraph or not. Making an empty line afterwards special would require looking forwards in the input for a blank line, which may not be easy if there are several sources of input, namely macro expansion and file inclusion. Moreover, such a syntax wouldn't allow specifying a paragraph containing an image and nothing else, which would be an alternative interpretation of an @image command on a line by itself. > Right now there is an asymmetry: An @image at the end of a paragraph's > text (with no intervening blank line) is part of the paragraph, > but @image at the beginning of a paragraph's text is not.
