Paragraph v. Text Block
"Webflow’s Text Block Element is just a DIV with text whereas a Paragraph element uses the Paragraph tag. Paragraph tags typically have browser defaults for styling which help readers and screen readers navigate content. DIV’s with text are suitable for blocks of content that stand apart from the main content. If you added a class to a text block to format it like a paragraph the only difference would be semantics and an impact on accessibility. "

CMS & Line Breaks
Webflow's CMS has a multi-line field which supports line breaks- however when you data-bind this to a Paragraph element, the line breaks do not appear in the published site.
@michaelrouveure - To fix this, set the Breaking style to Break Spaces.
Multi-line plain text CMS fields are not respecting line breaks in page
