You can use set-justification-left et al. to insert newlines in paragraph (and refill a paragraph).

You can use set-justification-left et al. to insert newlines in
paragraph (and refill a paragraph).

So you can have both kind of paragraphs in the same buffer.

You can reset the justification after inserting the string in the
buffer.  If you do that by program, you may use the set-justification
function.
