Description​

Use the paragraphs keyword to count the number of paragraph chunks in a container.

A paragraph is a chunk delimited by either a return character or the Unicode paragraph separator (0x2029).

note

The paragraph chunk is identical to the line chunk, except that it is also delimited by the paragraph separator character. This reflects the paragraph breaking exhibited by LiveCode fields.
