Note how to get >1 paragraphs under one tag.
I have seen many creative ways of getting this wrong, including blank
input lines.
* Use standard English when noting effect of HP macro on fonts.
* Note superfluity of HP macro as presentation-level; IP and TP can do
everything it can do, and with slightly better results on some output
devices.
* Add Vim modeline information after Emacs mode information.
