Abstract: The ancient technique of information hiding known as text steganography has enjoyed much research in recent years due to the rising popularity of social media platforms and the abundant availability of online literature and other text as cover media for steganography. Whilst the majority of the research approaches have focused on manipulating or replacing text, in some form or another, to embed secret information, the utilisation of the structure of the document itself for such embedding has rarely been researched. Therefore, we propose in this short paper a new approach for embedding secret messages in textual documents based on the splitting, merging, and resizing of paragraph text. The size comparison between adjacent paragraphs embeds one bit of information. We outline only the basic idea and define the syntax and semantics of the embedding language.
