I don't know of any automatic solution to this problem (except _perhaps_
columnsets could help) but the simplest way to split a paragraph into
two paragraphs while still looking like one is by inserting a macro
like this at an existing break point:
\def\splitpar
{\bgroup
\parfillskip\zeropoint
\par
\aftergroup \parskip
\aftergroup \zeropoint
\aftergroup \noindentation
\egroup }
\splitpar will work anywhere in a paragraph, but you only get a
visually pleasing result when it is applied at, or close to, a break
that would have been chosen anyway.
Best wishes,
Taco
