Thanks a bunch for that reference. If that works then I'll definately do that instead of my own formatting since that's a really hard problem to solve and one that I'm not very interested in doing myself.

What I do now is add two EOL's to the file. The BBeB format does have a concept of new paragraphs and also a paragraph indent. I intend to look into how to best implement this and I suspect that eventually it will be a preference that the user can set to specify their preferred indentation style.

Thanks for the feedback!
