== Paragraphs == [[File:ParagraphsExampleImage.png|thumb|right|A labelled example of paragraph formatting.]] Paragraphs should in general contain a whole idea. Paragraphs are not indented. An empty paragraph is left between paragraphs. === Paragraph Breaks === Paragraph breaks don't always have to be for total change of topic. The next subtopic in a line of thought can be broken into its own paragraph to help readability. Also keep in mind that an increase of paragraphs will cause an increase of timestamps, which may be useful for more technical subjects. === Timestamp === The timestamp is italicized, always of the form ''HH:MM:SS'' (hours:minutes:seconds). It marks the beginning of a paragraph. It is separated by a line break (<code>Shift + Enter</code>) instead of a paragraph break from the paragraph proper. This can be checked by triple-clicking a paragraph to select it and seeing whether the timestamp is also highlighted as part of the selection. === Speaker Tag === The speaker tag is bold, punctuated by a colon, and in-line with the paragraph. Only the first of consecutive paragraphs by a speaker should have a speaker tag. Paragraphs immediately following a heading should have a speaker tag.
