  I simply want to separate text in a widget by starting a new paragraph. Is it possible? How do I do it?

  Any help appreciated!

  What you want to do is wrap each paragraph in “p” tags:

  <p>this is the first paragraph</p>
  
  <p>this is the second paragraph</p>

  And so on.

  You’re very welcome, and happy blogging.

  Another note: You can actually write the stuff in the visual post editor and format it as you wish, and then switch to the HTML tab, copy all the stuff there, and then paste it into the text widget. That way you do not have to worry about all the coding.
