@freemo Is it possible to initiate a format change? If so, how?
.
.
I tend to write and think in paragraphs, but the standard format makes my paragraphs run together.
.
.
I tried to compensate by adding extra three empty lines between each paragraph, but the system is somehow designed to disregard this spacing preference.
.
.
So in this toot, I've placed a period at the beginning of each "blank" line -- hoping to create the kind of visual bites or "chunk" I want to see in my toots. -- see Wikipedia "Chunking (psychology)" en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chunking
.
.
Do I need to try to explain again in different words?

@chikara No I understood, not sure there is an easy fix though. Might need to be modified in the source.

@freemo Thank you, okay, fine.
.
A bit of extra punctuation produces the visual chunking I want to see, and these unconventional dots are unlikely to confuse anyone.
.
Please notice the spacing in the QOTO profiles each of us has already prepared. The visual separation between each of the paragraph-like units is distinct. What I want to see in my toots is precisely this kind of easy-to-read format. It's encouraging to know that the formatting change I want is already standard in our QOTO profiles.

@chikara Its a little hacky but you can probably use a unicode null character to get the same effect without the visible punctuation.
