# 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.
