+## TODO Is an empty blank line in groff the same as a `.P` request? {#question-e3b7748d-2e67-b60b-e966-ad80c754ea58}
+- TODO in 2021-06-16

+
+When reading the manpage with `man` or looking at the final output generated with `pandoc`, it seems to me that an empty line behaves and mean the same thing as a `.P` request.
+If this is true, these two snippets are equivalent:
+
+```troff
+.\" First snippet, using .PP
+
+.PP
+The first paragraph.
+.PP
+The second paragrah.
+.PP
+The third paragraph.
+
+
+.\" Second snippet, using empty lines
+
+The first paragraph.
+
+The second paragrah.
+
+The third paragraph.
+```
+
+I find the second option to be much more readable, and if both are equivalent I prefer writing that.
+In fact, I don't see any reason at all to use `.PP`.
