Notes

Also called a “hard return.”

This element is empty in valid ldsXML documents. When an ldsXML document is transformed for print production in InDesign, a Unicode paragraph separator character is inserted into this element. Upon export from InDesign, all paragraph separator characters in the document are deleted, and hr elements are left empty.

Use when you need a paragraph break inside a paragraph (or other para-type element). Usage should probably be limited to para elements inside imageText.

See Whitespace handling standards in InDesign for more information.
