Distinguish blank-line paragraphs from parsed code blocks.
Before this lesson: Words and operators.
A paragraph is separated by blank lines. ip names its text; ap also takes a neighbouring blank line. } moves toward the next paragraph boundary. Code braces and indentation do not define these paragraphs; use this on prose or comment sections when those blank-line boundaries fit the task.
In two notes separated by a blank line, dip removes the current note while leaving the separator. dap removes a neighbouring separator as well. Compare the complete target.
