+AutoFormat.AutoParagraph
+TYPE: bool
+VERSION: 2.0.1
+DEFAULT: false
+--DESCRIPTION--
+
+<p>
+ This directive turns on auto-paragraphing, where double newlines are
+ converted in to paragraphs whenever possible. Auto-paragraphing:
+</p>
+<ul>
+ <li>Always applies to inline elements or text in the root node,</li>
+ <li>Applies to inline elements or text with double newlines in nodes
+ that allow paragraph tags,</li>
+ <li>Applies to double newlines in paragraph tags</li>
+</ul>
+<p>
+ <code>p</code> tags must be allowed for this directive to take effect.
+ We do not use <code>br</code> tags for paragraphing, as that is
+ semantically incorrect.
+</p>
+<p>
+ To prevent auto-paragraphing as a content-producer, refrain from using
+ double-newlines except to specify a new paragraph or in contexts where
+ it has special meaning (whitespace usually has no meaning except in
+ tags like <code>pre</code>, so this should not be difficult.) To prevent
+ the paragraphing of inline text adjacent to block elements, wrap them
+ in <code>div</code> tags (the behavior is slightly different outside of
+ the root node.)
+</p>
