FAQ
How are paragraphs defined?
Paragraphs are blocks of text separated by one or more blank lines (double newlines). A single unbroken block of text counts as one paragraph.
Does it count single-line paragraphs?
Yes. Any non-empty text block separated by blank lines is counted as a paragraph, even if it is only one line.
Is my text stored anywhere?
No. All processing runs locally in your browser. Nothing is sent to a server.
