[lojban] lojgloss and linebreaks



I'm using alice as a source of stuff to translate to test my
parser/glosser. When alice starts a new HTML paragraph, the official
parser doesn't say that it's starting a new lojban paragraph. For
that, NIhO is required. Is a NIhO implied by an HTML paragraph break?
"la nicte cadzu", on the other hand, mostly starts new text paragraphs
with {ni'o}, but there are numerous exceptions which might have some
meaning. (Half a {ni'o}?)

Conventionally, casually, I think a paragraph break in text (or a
double-linebreak in plain text) does imply a new paragraph, and I'll
probably treat it as such whether or not it's technically accurate.
But I was wondering if the convention had any formal backing.
