If you can't be bothered to insert suitable mark-up,
namely inserting a blank line between paragraphs,
in plain text, what would lead us to believe that
you'd use a more complicated mark-up (HTML) sensibly?
What makes you think that the rest of the world wants
to see people who can't use, or deliberately abuse,
the power that they already have granted even more
power?
*Most* people who clamour for HTML, in /my/ experience
of course, are those who demonstrate an inabilty to
use plain text.
