An additional benefit of this style is that it plays very nicely with version control--diffs are much cleaner than if you have one paragraph per line.

- Certhas 4y agoVersion control configured for text should not split the text at newlines. It should split at full stops, commas, etc... Ideally it also should understand the hierarchy implied. The fact that we are using a tool chain built for kernel hacking to version control Text documents is a further problem. The workflow and presentation of Word or Google Docs in track changes mode is the gold standard here and is what people that edit text for a living actually use. (As much as I hate that fact when I am forced to move my latex documents into their workflows).
