This has been a very interesting discussion. Any general method of addressing broken paragraphs can be fraught with problems.

I've used BD for hundreds of PG books and never found the Broken Paragraph selection to be particullaly useful. One advantage that BD does have is the HTML Fragment. A block of text can be highlighted and only the code for that fragment is presented for operations and repair. This eliminates the danger of affecting code throught the document.

If Valoric is following this thread, perhaps he would comment on the difficulty of implementing such a capability before anyone (me?) submits an issue. It may already be in the pipeline.

Right now I'm still partial to the special character due to the Law of Unintended Consequences of RegEx's. There is no cut and try methodology as with RegEx Buddy and other RegEx tools. Right now the programmer's best friend (UNDO) is problematical.

Thanks for all of the thought provocing discussion.
