- mirimir 7y agoHey, thanks! I didn't know that ¶ is a pilcro. But yeah, you can edit the format on one little paragraph, and the entire document format changes. I do understand that one should define styles for documents, but I've never had the patience for that.
- mxuribe 7y agoTIL the name pilcro; thanks!
- quickthrower2 7y agoApologies to all I have mislead! It's actually spelt "Pilcrow". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pilcrow https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pilcrow. ¶
- mirimir 7y agoSo I looked, and found: > Scribes would often leave space before paragraphs to allow rubricators to draw the pilcrow. With the introduction of the printing press, space before paragraphs was still left for rubricators to draw by hand; however, rubricators could not draw fast enough for printers and often would leave the beginnings of the paragraphs as blank. This is how the indent before paragraphs was created. Amazing. Had no clue.
