But it was a short-lived relief. At the gate, chaos reigned,
delivery vehicles jammed the opening, the silk balloons that
normally rose above them, taking the strain off the axles,
lay limp over the cargo or deflated even as they watched;
further evidence, if they needed it, that the node's power
umbrella was rapidly failing.
Or perhaps, Deymorin thought, as he raised his eyes to
see stormciouds gathering above the city, that energy was
being redirected."
In the file I have, after every line there is a ^p formatting mark.

Unfortunately, so far as I know the only way to deal with that is to manually go through and press return at the appropriate places.
Aside from writing a script that does what you do to determine where paragraphs end (look for short lines ending with sentence ending punctuation, basically) and add a ^p at that point...that would catch most of them, though it would likely also have a few false positives.
Anyone know whether there is a script like that out there somewhere?
