Ability to split paragraphs inside a document

Several documents rely on a structure that leverages a single section for a bunch of unrelated paragraphs, we'd like to do document splitting based on paragraph marks at ingestion time.

This could be accomplished by allowing other tags (not only H1, H2, Hx...) to split a document.

----- EDIT -----

Given that SDU is now available (allowing to split documents on an identified field) and that document segmentation and SDU can't be both enabled, it would be relevant to find a way to allow paragraph splitting using SDU.

    Hi Phil, it does exists but only for H1 to H6, it would be helpful to do it for some other HTML tags.

    Using predefined tags as an option to define the desired boundary of a paragraph(passage) will be very helpful to get a self-explainable answer from WDS.

     

    The current passage level function seems much to be based on standard html tag(<p>), and guessing the paragraph/passage boundary by the trailing \r\n and the leading space of the following text line. This approach is not able to reserve the context from the "malformatted" documents(most technology manuals, troubleshooting guidelines, administration guidelines etc.) where natural language and computer language are intermingled, hence the common format of boundary of a paragraph is not achievable.
