How do I change paragraph height in Text?

I have this Text object with a rather lengthy amount of text, consisting of multiple paragraphs. I am splitting them by adding "newline", but this makes them stick really close together, without any amount of spacing between paragraphs. I tried doing "newline&newline" but that adds too much space!

I tried using this plugin: http://c2rexplugins.weebly.com/rex_tagtext.html which in principle does what I want, I figured I could set the newline to size 1, but if I try to use it, the different text types overlap, so it's unusable.

Adding multiple text boxes would be problematic. The text is very long and varies, it would be an insane amount of work.

Is there any other way to do this?

Thanks in advance.
