Anne-Laure. This becomes an issue for all tiddlywiki users eventually for many when typing, or in your case importing text. I believe it is a product of the way wikitext need to cohabit with widgets and other code. I and mario were recently looking at "dot paragraphs" where placing a period at the beginning of a line would turn it into a paragraph `<p>` when rendered. I was about to revisit where we were on this. With a line based Editor toolbar button to add a period at the beginning of every line in highlighted text, This method can be used to rapidly transform imported text, that comes in the forms of lines rather than paragraphs when pasted. It has the advantage of also collapsing extra blank lines.
I believe there may be options in the tools one uses to copy and paste that will use double line breaks when pasting a paragraph. Depending on your final use of the text you capture from elsewhere and whether you intend to edit it. you can get a browser tool to copy as html from the source, and paste this html it tiddlywiki thus retaining much of its original structure. We could also make an editor toolbar button that wraps every (all or selected) lines in `<p>` but these will remain in the text in edit mode. Try these things and let us know if you want to explore this in more detail.
