Paragraph size suits chunking

Why this matters

Engines chunk at a fixed length. Oversized paragraphs get cut mid-sentence so the extract is incomplete; all-fragments goes the other way and each chunk carries too little.

How to fix it

Which advice applies depends on what the audit found. The label is the condition that triggers it.

• no-paragraphs

  Use <p> to divide the body so each paragraph expresses one complete point.

• very-long

  Break the long paragraphs up by point — one idea per paragraph — using subheadings or lists where it helps.

• long

  Split anything over 600 characters one level further.

• fragmented

  Merge the related fragments into full paragraphs so each one carries a complete point.
