Text Formatting ⇒ Paragraph Indentation stops

[sabahmed]

Hi all,

I am using

Code: Select all

\indent this is my new paragraph

command to give tab to first line of paragraph. it is working fine in beginning of report but I don't know what happened. The \indent command is not showing any effect to the rest of document.

Hi,
have you set

Code: Select all

\setlength{\parindent}{0mm}

or something like that in your file? Because that would cause \indent to indent 0mm

LaTeX automaticly indents paragraphs when you set

Code: Select all

\setlength{\parindent}{1cm}

or whatever length you like.

Hi dear max thanks alot for ur kind reply. Although i havent set length but in the first two chapters of my report i am getting desired results i.e. indented paragraph but as i include algorithms under figure index discussed in http://www.latex-community.org/forum/vi ... 45&t=15382
i am not the getting the desired result...dont know why:(
even i have included the setlength command but no results yet:(

Im not sure if i understand you correctly, so you might want to add a MWE that reproduces the problem.
Does the indentation not work after a particular algorithm, or within one?

problem is solved now infact i was doing mistake i need to put

Code: Select all

\setlength{\parindent}{1cm}

where indent for paragraph is required. thanks laterx@maxmax
