Break Up Walls of Text

Some pages are just dense blocks of text with nothing to break them up. It's easy to lose your place or feel overwhelmed before you even start reading.

Paragraph borders add visual separation between sections. Each paragraph gets its own space, making it easier to see where one ends and the next begins.

Learn how to add paragraph borders


What You Can Customize

Border color: Pick any color that helps you see the separation clearly.

Border style: Solid, dashed, or dotted lines.

Border width: Thin and subtle or thick and obvious.

Background color: Add a background tint to paragraphs.

Text color: Change the text color within paragraphs if needed.


Why This Helps

Track your position: When every paragraph has a clear boundary, it's easier to keep your place.

Reduce overwhelm: Dense text becomes less intimidating when it's visually broken up.

Support ADHD and dyslexia: Visual structure can help maintain focus and reduce the "jumping" sensation some readers experience.


Who Uses This

Readers with dyslexia or ADHD who benefit from visual structure.

Students reading long academic texts or research papers.
