Ok, I've just modified the very first line.

Ok.

Well, it's not the blank-mode intention to visualize paragraphs,
but space, hard space, tab and also end of lines (\n).

The visual mark used to display end of line can be changed any time
by modifying blank-display-mappings variable.

It happens that the visual mark for end of line is the same
used in other editors to visualize end of paragraphs.
This visual mark was suggested by some blank-mode users.
What visual mark do you suggest?

BTW you could change the visual mark of any character
using blank-display-mappings variable.
