Line breaks and paragraphs

When editing text in WebAcappella, the management of line breaks and paragraphs follows a specific logic. This document explains how to correctly insert line breaks and structure your text.

Using linefeed keys

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

• Enter (Return): creates a new paragraph with automatic spacing between text blocks.

• 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 paragraphs from simple line breaks to :

• Ensure a coherent, well-organized layout.

• Enable finer management of text styles.

• Promote better compatibility with HTML rendering, where a paragraph is encapsulated in a <p> tag, while a simple line break is represented by <br>.

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 simple line breaks and Enter to separate paragraphs, you can better organize and structure your text in WebAcappella.
