consider <pbr> to be a sub-element of <p>, meaning that if you insert a
page break, you are still in the same paragraph. Personally, I think this
is bad behavior.
This doesn't make sense for most documents. If you have a document with
one line on the top of the first page, and the rest of the document
starting on the second page, you would not expect them to be the same
paragrah. But with this interpretation, they are.
This is not how other word processors behave. WordPerfect for Linux, the
only other WP that I have easy access to, counts them as seperate
paragraphs.
This can lead to very bizarre behavior. I have had lots of documents
where I create a title page after I write the paper, and have a page break
between them. But when I center the title, the first paragraph of the
paper is centered also. I have printed many copies of papers that had
this mistake in them, and I always found it very annoying. This error is
a direct consequence of our <p>/<pbr> model.
middle of a paragraph, but I couldn't think of any situations. If someone
uses this 'feature,' please let me know, and we could work out a better
solution.
columns much, so I don't feel able to talk about them the same way.
