# createParagraphNear command

Use the createParagraphNear command in Tiptap to add paragraphs adjacent to the current block node selection. More in our docs!

If a block node is currently selected, the `createParagraphNear` command creates an empty paragraph after the currently selected block node. If the selected block node is the first child of its parent, the new paragraph will be inserted before the current selection.

## Use the createParagraphNear command

```js
editor.commands.createParagraphNear()
```
