As you might expect, the next logical progression after sentences are paragraphs.
- paragraph:
- sequences of sentences that begin and end with empty lines.
Let's take a look at paragraph in action:
Initial Condition
that·it·has·come,·let·me·leave.·For·a·long·time,·I've·been·waiting·for
this·hour;·for·a·long·time,·I've·been·Vasudeva·the·ferryman.·Now·it's
enough.·Farewell,·but,·farewell,·river,·farewell,·Siddhartha!"
Siddhartha·made·a·deep·bow·before·him·who·bid·his·farewell.
"I've·known·it,"·he·said·quietly.·"You'll·go·into·the·forests?"
"I'm·going·into·the·forests,·I'm·going·into·the·oneness,"·spoke

As with sentences, this example starts with the cursor in the middle of the paragraph, then after selecting the paragraph the selection extends from the start of the paragraph (which is currently not visible), to the end of the paragraph. Text objects do not take into account whether or not the object is visible or not, they are purely concerned with the text itself.
