How do I add a ‘new paragraph’ or ‘new line’ when using Dictation

I have a Mac Mini M1 running Ventura. I am using a text editor, but I have tried this in other software, including Notes. From time to time I try to give Dictation a go, but there are some things I can’t get working. In particular, it doesn’t matter what I try, I can’t get a new paragraph or new line. According to [Commands for dictating text on Mac](https://support.apple.com/en-au/guide/mac-help/mh40695/mac) saying new paragraph or new line should work, but all I get is an extra space on the same line. I accept that I speak with an Australian accent, but it has no trouble with the rest of the words I dictate, so I don’t think it’s the accent; anyway, the accent isn’t so outlandish. What is the secret to getting it to work?
