String.paragraphs(N)
This function extracts the first N paragraphs of the referenced string or String-type attribute. Examples:
$MyString = "Paragraph 1\nParagraph 2".paragraphs(1)
In the example the "\n" simulates a line break. The code would set $MyString to the string "Paragraph 1".
$Text = $Text(Some note).paragraphs(2)
In the second example the current note's $Text would be set to the first 2 paragraphs of note "Some note".
To get a single given paragraph of a multi line/paragraph string, such as $Text, see String.split().
From v7.5.3, this functions respects existing rich text styling.
