Space between paragraphs for plain text file editing

[Innovator]

pandoc is a general purpose document orchestrator. You should learn its capabilities.

Here is a parallel world asking your question.

https://forum.squarespace.com/topic/223240-splitting-a-document-with-custom-pandoc-lua-writer/

"or if it is even possible with custom writers to generate multiple output files from a single input file".

But let us start with the suggested key strokes.

With judicious use of “ctrl+]” and “ctrl+[” on your Latin code … just click anywhere in the text … text blocks can be “staggered” to make separation easier.

But returning to Pandoc … go to Tools > Build System … to see if pandoc is available. It is in my setup. And so my thought is that you can leverage Pandoc to apply to any Doc … pure text or more complex … using Lua filters. But I don’t think that this needs Pandoc. Just “ctrl+]” and “ctrl+[” to stagger text blocks for your stated purpose of discerning.

Thanks for your continued interest in this topic.

I looked up Pandoc, and I feel it’s a solution to a different set of issues than the one I’m expressing here.

Pandoc, if I understand it, allows for conversion between formats. However, I am explicitly avoiding any file formats that require markup within the file itself.

All I want to achieve is a slight adjustment on how .txt files are displayed. That’s my goal. File formats and markup outside of the .txt format do not meet my needs.

Thanks anyway.
