5.2 Paragraphs are graphical elements
How paragraphs look implies to the reader something about their content and ease of reading:
- Beware of one-sentence paragraphs. A sentence is a single idea; a paragraph is a thematic union of related ideas. How can a single sentence express such a thematic union?
- Beware of overlong paragraphs. They look boring when they
exceed twenty or so lines. So where you may have logically had
a single theme, but your theme went on too long, look for two
or more themes.
