(Abbreviated) section of text – soldier (4)

I believe the answer is:

para

(Other definitions for para that I've seen before include "A block of text; an airborne soldier (abbrs.)" , "Soldier who's dropped in? (abbr)" , "High-jumper" , "Soldier dropping to earth" , "Soldier who jumps to order? (abbr)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
