Anatomy of a paragraph
The figure below shows all spacing characteristics of a paragraph.
The outer rectangle (using +, -, and | characters) marks the most outer part of a paragraph.
This is followed by top, bottom, left, and right frame margins.
The next rectangle (using the UTF-8 double line characters ╔, ═, ╗, ╚, ║, and ╝) shows an example frame.
This is followed by top / bottom text margins and left / right string margins.
Left and right we find the start and end strings that can be set. This is followed by the left / right text margins.
The last rectangle (using the single line UTF-8 characters ┌, ─, ┐, └, ─, and ┘) marks the actual paragraph.
Here we have the text, plus optional padding and indentations.
