Sections usually consist of paragraphs of running prose, each dealing with a particular point or idea. Single-sentence paragraphs can inhibit the flow of the text; by the same token, long paragraphs become hard to read. Between paragraphs—as between sections—there should be only a {{em|single}} blank line. First lines are {{em|not}} indented. 

[[Bullet (typography)#Bullet points|Bullet points]] should not be used in the lead of an article.  They may be used in the body to break up a mass of text, particularly if the topic requires significant effort to comprehend. Sometimes, it may be preferable to use bullet points instead of having a series of very short paragraphs. However, bulleted lists are typical in the reference, further reading, and external links sections towards the end of the article. Bullet points are usually not separated by blank lines, as that causes an accessibility issue (''see'' [[MOS:LISTGAP]] for ways to create multiple paragraphs within list items that do not cause this issue).
