Line breaks, newlines and paragraphs

Space
is the safe default for reflowing wrapped prose without joining neighboring words.
Keep paragraph breaks
joins single hard wraps inside a paragraph while preserving blank-line-separated blocks.
Custom
lets you replace newlines with any short separator you need.
