When blank space is used to denote a section break, I make sure it's at a size of 2em.

sectionbreak {
margin-top: 2em;
text-indent: 0
}

<p class="sectionbreak">First paragraph after the section break</p>

But, in order for this to actually work, you need to set a widow and orphan to 1.

body {
widow: 1
orphan: 1
{

Otherwise, you could get space at the bottom of the screen that looks like it could be a section break.
