Sometimes, spacing is an issue in text from user-generated content. This implementation parses and removes superfluous spacing.

const text = `Hey is some text some text?

You are some text some text some text some text some text some text some text some text some text some text some text some text some text some text some text some text

My name is some text some text some text some text some text some text some text some text some text some text some text some text some text some text`;

const wrappedText = text
  .split('\n')
  .filter(v => v.trim())
  .map(content => `<p>${content.trim()}</p>`)
  .join('\n');
  
console.log(wrappedText);

that is quite simple. you use the String.prototype.split function on your string.

You can split it on \n\n.

let text=`Hey is some text some text?

You are some text some text some text some text some text some text some text some text some text some text some text some text some text some text some text some text

My name is some text some text some text some text some text some text some text some text some text some text some text some text some text some text`//declare variable
let split=text.split('\n\n') //split up
//logging every new line:
split.forEach(function(item){console.log(item)})

You could just use split() method and split it by \n\n. \n Means new line, on your text, there is 2 new line, hence we use \n\n.

const text = `Hey is some text some text?

You are some text some text some text some text some text some text some text some text some text some text some text some text some text some text some text some text

My name is some text some text some text some text some text some text some text some text some text some text some text some text some text some text`;

const splittedText = text.split("\n\n");
console.log(splittedText);

You could split on CR?LF occurring one or more times:

var input = "Hey is some text some text?\r\n\r\nYou are some text some text some text some text some text some text some text some text some text some text some text some text some text some text some text some text\r\n\r\nMy name is some text some text some text some text some text some text some text some text some text some text some text some text some text some text";
var paragraphs = input.split(/(?:\r?\n)+/);
console.log(paragraphs);
