paragraphs property

  1. @override
Iterable<LicenseParagraph> paragraphs
override

The paragraphs of the license, each as a LicenseParagraph consisting of a string and some formatting information. Paragraphs can include newline characters, but this is discouraged as it results in ugliness.

Implementation

@override
Iterable<LicenseParagraph> get paragraphs {
