Hi everybody,
Can someone explain to me what does the option parfill in the parskip package actually do? I took a look at the documentation but didn't understand what they mean.
I tried to compile a couple of files both with \usepackage{parskip} and \usepackage[parfill]{parskip}, but couldn't find any difference.
A basic example showing the difference would be much appreciated!
Many thanks, best wishes

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

parskip package: what does the option parfill do?
Hi hiryu!
Originally, it's 0pt plus 1fil.
\parfillskip is inserted at the end of a paragraph. By this option, i.e. by raising this value, you avoid that a paragraph ends almost flush right. So, paragraphs could easier be distinguished.

The parskip option modifies the \parfillskip length:hiryu wrote:Can someone explain to me what does the option parfill in the parskip package actually do?
Code: Select all
\setlength{\parfillskip}{30\p@ \@plus 1fil}\parfillskip is inserted at the end of a paragraph. By this option, i.e. by raising this value, you avoid that a paragraph ends almost flush right. So, paragraphs could easier be distinguished.
