Does OO Writer deprecate the traditional practice of inserting a return
(newline = "carriage return" = "hard return" = "line break") between
paragraphs? If not, how can Writer handle the case where the end of a
paragraph coincides with the end of a page, such that the line return
between paragraphs begins the next page? Some word processors or publishing
programs might call such a return a "dormant" return (or similar name) -
something given normal linespace in other contexts, but no space as the
first line on a page. Does OO have such utility, or is the return between
paragraphs simply deprecated?
What happens when you actually try?
The return, which would otherwise be between paragraphs, winds up at the
top of the next page - thus creating an empty first line on that page.
That's why I wonder if Writer's design philosophy deprecates
newlines/returns between paragraphs, since there is no apparent way to
make that space "dormant" in contexts (like top-of-page) where that
space is inappropriate. But I just don't find anything on this issue.
