Hi all!

I want to make a code to split sentences into paragraphs maybe

This splits every sentence.

awk -v RS="." '!/^\n$/ { print "<p>" $0 ".</p>" }' < input > output

This splits every 5 sentences.

awk -v RS="." '!/^\n$/ { if(!((++N)%5)) printf("</p>\n<p>"); print; } END { print "</p>" }' < input > output
