Inkscape doesn't really have special spacing for paragraphs. I can think of a couple of different ways to do it. Personally, at my age, I simply double-space to make a paragraph, because that's what you did when I first learned to type (almost 50 years ago). Or you could use Guides in Inkscape, and snap your text to the guides. That way you could have custom spacing.
Thanks for your reply and suggestions. Perhaps they may do something in an update that will make it easier, like exporting to CYMK as well. I will just create backgrounds and graphis in Inkscape and import into Scribus for the time being. Scibus is a bit unwieldy as well, but they are free so can't complain too much. Thanks again.
I haven't found a way. A blank line between paragraphs is sometimes too much waste of space. So you can either give the blank line a very small font size, or make the first space in the next line a much larger font size and skip the blank line. E.G Paragraph 1 Paragraph 2 with no extra spacing Paragraph3 with extra large space
there isn't a way to achieve that through the CSS or XML ?
I'm neither a novice or a beginner at either, but I'm sure someone savvy in those disciplines could shell out an easy answer to this...
and speaking of easy, I just decided instead of googoo... ing... trial & error CSS and XML elements, to just create seperate text boxes and as previously mentioned, let snapping do the aligning. A Ham Fisted solution, but for me it was effective and easy as a few key strokes.
How to varying paragraph spacing?

Select your paragraphs and open the Align and Distribute panel [shift+ctrl+a].
[Grid]
[Columns: 1]
[Set spacing: Yes]
[Y: 20] [px]
[Align]
[Relative to: Last selected]
[Align left edges]
