Q: Do I absolutely need to use headings to upload documents into Discuto?
P2

Q: I have paragraphs in my doc file that were not separated when uploading a document into Discuto? What triggers a paragraph?
P3
A: Discuto uses “Headings” and “Enter” (the paragraph mark) to separate paragraphs in the documents. Carriage returns (Shift + Enter) however are not recognized as being a paragraph.
