Paragraph strategies

As Is:
- one line becomes a paragraph
Sentence:
- a paragraph ends when a line ends with a point or similar punctuation.
- the punctuation is searched at the end of the line, even if the sentence is quoted or in parentheses.
- an empty line also ends the paragraph.
Old Way:
- a paragraph ends at an empty line.
- a paragraph ends at a short line (less than 40 characters.)
