Empty paragraph

Plugin rule colour. Read the rule name as well as the dot.

Avellio notices: An empty or whitespace-only paragraph is present.

Example to inspect: Body paragraph¶ ¶ Next paragraph

Possible editorial outcome: Paragraph spacing defined by the intended style, where appropriate

Why review it: Empty paragraphs used as spacing can produce fragile layout and inconsistent rhythm.

When to keep or investigate: Forms, structured material, deliberate separators and source-preservation work can contain intentional empty paragraphs.

Your next step: Inspect paragraph marks and styles. Replace accidental spacing structure carefully; verify the adjacent paragraphs and pagination.

Verify: inspect the edited text again with the intended scope and policy. Check meaning and nearby composition; a review status alone does not prove a correction.

In the plugin — Review in context: Review paragraph spacing before removing an empty paragraph. This recommendation does not edit text; verify context, make a deliberate change in InDesign if appropriate, then inspect again.
