eintr: forward-paragraph in brief

 
 Shortened ‘forward-paragraph’ function definition
 -------------------------------------------------
 
 Rather than print all of the ‘forward-paragraph’ function, we will only
 print parts of it.  Read without preparation, the function can be
 daunting!
 
    In outline, the function looks like this:
 
      (defun forward-paragraph (&optional arg)
        "DOCUMENTATION..."
        (interactive "p")
        (or arg (setq arg 1))
        (let*
            VARLIST
          (while (and (< arg 0) (not (bobp)))     ; backward-moving-code
            ...
          (while (and (> arg 0) (not (eobp)))     ; forward-moving-code
            ...
 
    The first parts of the function are routine: the function’s argument
 list consists of one optional argument.  Documentation follows.
 
    The lower case ‘p’ in the ‘interactive’ declaration means that the
 processed prefix argument, if any, is passed to the function.  This will
 be a number, and is the repeat count of how many paragraphs point will
 move.  The ‘or’ expression in the next line handles the common case when
 no argument is passed to the function, which occurs if the function is
 called from other code rather than interactively.  This case was
 described earlier.  (The ‘forward-sentence’ function
 forward-sentence.)  Now we reach the end of the familiar part of this
 function.
