Well, that's intuitive -- NOT!

From the GitHub wiki editor "help": > To create a paragraph, simply create a block of text that is not separated by one or more blank lines. Blocks of text separated by one or more blank lines will be parsed as paragraphs. I mean, after thinking about it, I get what they mean, but "create a paragraph" usually means, for me, creating a paragraph separate from other paragraphs. The first instruction would be cleared if it said "to create text within a paragraph..." Marc

Is the documentation for the wiki on a wiki? If so, fix it.

Er ... no ... just, no!

Nope, it's in the wiki editor helpful hints section. Marc

I know -- I think my subject line should have been "doesn't that sound contradictory?" ;) My subject line wasn't very intuitive, haha. Marc

Because there is no paragraph until there is text! You can have text without paragraphs, you can't have paragraphs without text!
That's exactly the point, the docs didn't elude to that at all. The first thing it said was "to create a paragraph" even though it was talking about creating text within one. Marc made a valid point.
