First, I understand why you wouldn’t want to do this but let me explain my dilemma.

I have an old site that is just stock full of double br breaks that I wish to convert to p paragraph breaks and be responsive.

While I am looking at the page in phone mode I find myself opening elements wishing to break one large paragraph into two or three but Pinegrow refuses to let me as it limits it to just one element. Therefore I have to insert double br’s (which is allowed) and then do a Find/Replace using closing p/opening p’s in Atom and then Prettify.

I think it would be nice to be able to override this one element restriction or have an exception for paragraphs.
