Agreed. I've had to use practical "bad practice" way too often, surprisingly enough in college where "good practice" is regularly subverted by deranged professors. Like the one who demanded a page of endnotes *and* strict MLA formatting, at a time when the MLA strictly prohibited them and footnotes.
And people wonder why I prefer APA...

I write using Geany on Linux, using HTML markup. Personally, I always have line numbers displayed, and I think they serve to show where paragraphs are quite well. Alternatively, you could use blank lines between paragraphs.
Depending on which text editor you're using, it should be reasonably simple to remove the tabs in your text file before you import into Libre Office or whatever.

Usually Kate. I generally keep line numbers turned off, but that could help now that you mention it. Need to see if Kate supports them.
Edit: She does, although you have to set it in the Configure option instead of the View menu or hitting f11 for her to make it persistent. Thanks for the idea! I'll have to see how this works.
