Text Formatting ⇒ Spaces between paragraphs

[velisarus]

Hi everyone!

I have some problems with the spaces between paragraphs -- they are stretches. Yes, I know, this is normal behavior of LaTeX... But that looks awful.

Can I anyhow forbid the stretching of those spaces?

Hi there,

You could try setting \setlength{\parskip}{length} in your preamble, where length is the distance between paragraphs, and can be in cm, pt etc...

Hope that helps

Yes, that helps! And yes, I'm fool, that was so simple...

I've set \setlength{\parskip}{0pt plus 0pt minus 0pt} in my preamble, and look at this.

Of course, now I have some other problems, like widows and orphans, but that's not very important in this case. Besides, I can fix it... Actually those spaces were made by \widowpenalty=10000 (\clubpenalty=10000), so it's useful to change theirs values.

It's important to say, that there are no spaces between paragraphs in Russian typography -- they are forbidden.

Thank you, magicmoose!
