I have always pushed using an HTML/SGML compatible paragraph marker.
Anyway, this is a question of display, partly, as well as presenting a
document that can be converted easily to a format desired by the user or
publihser.
Some people may want the paragraph number in italics, some in bold, some
in the margin, some centered, some with an ASCII symbol, and some with
SGML angle brackets.
But, the paragraph number is the constant -- get a life.
