| Sep 14, 2013 at 23:57 | comment | added | darij grinberg | What about the night's sleep test: Could a reader stop reading a proof at the end of a paragraph and then, on the next morning, start at the beginning of the next one, without having to backtrace some sentences? (I have to admit I'm anything but an authority on writing...) | |

| Sep 14, 2013 at 20:04 | comment | added | Mariano Suárez-Álvarez | I cannot see in what way that connects to what I said, really —for one thing, using that phrase or not in any piece of writing has nothing to do with paragraph breaking! | |
| Sep 14, 2013 at 20:01 | comment | added | Vidit Nanda | @MarianoSuárez-Alvarez I'm not sure it would be okay in "any other kind of writing" to say "and the rest follows from Lemma 4 combined with Proposition 1". There is a separate syntax and cultural expectation from math writing. | |

| Sep 14, 2013 at 19:59 | comment | added | Mariano Suárez-Álvarez | I can't think of any good reason to use different rules for paragraph breaking in a proof than in any other kind of writing. | |

| Sep 14, 2013 at 19:30 | comment | added | Stefan Kohl♦ | I would just say: do it in the way you think it looks nice in the particular case. -- I wonder whether you think there is a rule which gives always good results(?) | |
