Learn English – the opposite of ‘wall of text’

antonyms

What is the antonym of wall of text? That is, a text where every paragraph is a single sentence.

If the antonym doesn't exist, how can the opposite of wall of text be described grammar-technically? There must be a term or a description for this common type of error in writing.

Exhibit A [1]

object is valid for all .NET versions.

It is the base type that all other types inherit from, so any type can be cast to object.

You can't dynamically add and change anything on a variable declared as object.

The declaration is a statically typed and checked by the compiler.

dynamic is new for .NET 4.0.

It allows you do dynamically add and change properties and methods without the compiler checking them (so if what you wrote is wrong you will only find out at runtime).

Best Answer

According to the definition you cite (and my understanding), a wall of text is a solid blob of text without paragraph breaks. It is therefore hard to mentally outline a "wall of text". Your example seems to be of the "opposite of a wall of text" that you seek a word for.

Some words that might help:

  • "broken up"
  • "staccato"
  • "disjointed"
  • "not fleshed out"
  • "outline"
