What I did point out was that in Southern Illinois (even if nowhere else) there was a rather narrow definition of what constitutes good English.
Easily resolved by looking at some American-printed books on Amazon, for example. I'm surprised this professor was so uninformed.
Are we to detect paragraph breaks merely on the basis of TabKeyDowns or something else. Certainly TABS will only detect the indented type of paragraph.
In Revolution, paragraphs are equivalent to "lines". Just get the number of lines in a field and you will have the number of paragraphs. In the case where there are empty lines between paragraphs, you can filter the content "without empty" and then get the number of lines of the filtered content, if that's what you need.
In rare cases, such as when importing certain text documents, there may be a return character at the end of every visible line; these are "hard wrapped" lines that don't represent true paragraphs. If the text has empty lines between actual, visual paragraphs, you can do some fairly simple replacements to remove the hard line endings. If the text does not have empty lines between visual paragraphs, it's a bigger challenge. I've written a best-guess algorithm to deal with that situation for one of my stacks. It isn't perfect.
