Lucifer, that definition of Paragraph there is correct, however you are using it incorrectly. The way I am typing right now is the proper way. The "¶" symbol will be there whenever you hit enter.¶
Load up any intermediate-advanced text editing program (Ex. Microsoft Word) and enable the showing of paragraph marks and hit enter 5 times.¶
It should appear as:

I think all you brainiacs are confusing the intent of "a paragraph" with that of "a sentence".

Umm no, Lucifer, you seem to be confusing "a paragraph" with "a sentence". You linebreak after each sentence, which is just plain wrong.

(A single) Line break does not indicates the end of a paragraph.
Merely that of a sentence.
Paragraphs are traditionaly spaced by at least a single blank line between sentences which deal with two different ideas/topics.

Word is NOT a HTML editor, it just pretends to be one.
While creating a html document, you use the <p> tag to initiate a new paragraph, while within it you use the <br> tag to break sentences.

Had I been writing my sentences as you would like to think is proper, they would be indiscriminatable and undecipherable, adding up to a clogged clutter of letters and obscure periods.

Additionaly, if you seek to pursue the same subject in the following sentence, you are to use the semi-colon, not a period.

Ex. of clutter:

Specialist publisher Strategy First has announced that it's to distribute its titles over Valve's digital distribution service, Steam, starting with naval simulation title SCS -Dangerous Waters later this month. The multi-title deal will see a selection of Strategy First's most popular titles and new releases being delivered over Steam, the client for which Valve estimates is now used by over six million gamers around the world.
"Throughout the years, Strategy First has delivered great games from many developers while navigating the evolution of genres, technology and distribution mechanisms - whether it's moving from 2D to 3D, or from floppy to Steam," commented Strategy First product manager Emanuel Wall.
The Steam service was originally built by Valve to deliver hit PC title Half-Life 2 directly to consumers, but has since built up a library of software - most of it based on Valve's Source engine - which is soon to be supplemented by titles including an episodic SiN sequel and a new game from Deus Ex creator Warren Spector. However, Valve has never released any sales figures for Steam, giving little indication of whether the service has actually been a commercial success for any of the titles available.

I hope you've enjoyed reading the above.
I hope your eyes will forgive you for the experience.

Db is the worst for line breaking.
