Line breaks and paragraphs

When editing text in WebAcappella, line breaks and paragraphs are managed according to a specific logic. This document explains how to insert line breaks correctly and structure your text.

Using keys for line breaks

In WebAcappella, the following keys can be used to insert line breaks or paragraphs:

• Enter (Return): creates a new paragraph with automatic spacing between blocks of text.
• Shift + Enter: inserts a single line break within the same paragraph, without adding extra space.

Why this distinction?

WebAcappella, like many rich text editors, distinguishes between paragraphs and simple line breaks in order to:

• Ensure consistent and spacious layout.
• Allow for more precise management of text styles.
• Promote better compatibility with HTML rendering, where a paragraph is encapsulated in a

  tag, while a simple line break is represented by
  .

Examples of use

Ceci est un premier paragraphe. (Appuyer sur Entrée)

Ceci est un second paragraphe. (Un espace sera ajouté automatiquement entre les deux paragraphes)

Ceci est une ligne.
Ceci est la ligne suivante du même paragraphe. (Utiliser Maj + Entrée pour ne pas créer d’espace supplémentaire)

Conclusion

By using Shift + Enter for single line breaks and Enter to separate paragraphs, you can better organize and structure your text in WebAcappella.
