Hi everyone, I have a question regarding formatting paragraphs in RW. One of my SEO apps indicates that lots of my pages have no paragraphs at all when in fact I am formatting paragraphs. Does anyone have an idea where technically speaking RW formats paragraphs? An example of a page “without paragraphs” [https://pianolessons-london.co.uk/elements/composers/czerny/](https://pianolessons-london.co.uk/elements/composers/czerny/) Responses would be appreciated. Best, Natasha ---

If you are using styled-text, you need to encapsulate the text into paragraphs manually. This is true for _any_ Styled-Text (Styled-text page, blog page, side bars, etc). It’s available from the format menu or the bottom tool bar. ![2021-10-05_06-20-42](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/realmacsoftware1/original/3X/7/e/7eee190fc7235a1bdd08f38b84120cbe4f15e8de.jpeg) ![2021-10-05_06-21-56](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/realmacsoftware1/original/3X/c/e/ce4df564637578bf384913a9b9eded02d2bd5279.jpeg) Hence, Markdown is so much better, it does most formatting like paragraphs automatically or much easier than styled-text. It’s easy to learn. ---

Natasha, your text on that page is enclosed in article tags () but not within paragraphs ( ). I’ve never seen that before. How did you create the page? ---

I’m on an iPad now, so I can’t check, but I would bet the article tags are part of the theme. ---

Absolutely agree with @teefers and would switch to markdown for most text content. Scribe is a brilliant and free (donation) stack for this purpose, combining Markdown with a number of useful extras such as quotes, read more, columns and more. [Scribe Stack for RapidWeaver](https://www.bigwhiteduck.com/stacks/scribe/) Only time I use styled text is if I have a lot of links (the RW link box is easier) or maybe want to change the colour of just one word etc. ---
