Hi,

I was wondering if it was possible to change the way the paragraphs are displayed in the article class. Instead of the first line of each paragraph being indented, I would like to have to indentation, but instead two carriage returns to signify a new paragraph.

Any help with this would be great.

Thanks,

Ryan

NEW: TikZ book now 40% off at Amazon.com for a short time.

And: Currently, Packt sells ebooks for $4.99 each if you buy 5 of their over 1000 ebooks. If you choose only a single one, $9.99. How about combining 3 LaTeX books with Python, gnuplot, mathplotlib, Matlab, ChatGPT or other AI books? Epub and PDF. Bundle (3 books, add more for higher discount): https://packt.link/MDH5p

Hi,

the parskip package could be useful for you.

Don't think in the small dimensions of word processors. Fixed spaces restrict the capabilities of LaTeX. The package suggested by gmedina can only serve as interim solution (like mentioned in its description). Think about using alternative document classes like memoir or those of KOMA Script. These classes have built-in mechanisms to manage this issue much better.

Best regards and welcome to the board
