Hi there,
I'm sure their's a simple fix to this. But everytime I leave a blank line in my input, it assumes a new paragraph and the output starts the text a little to the right.
I know that it is proper english, but I am doing maths, I would rather it just starts to the far left after each time I leave a blank line in the input.
I also need to put vertical spaces in, this also makes the text or equation shift to the right slightly as if it's a new paragraph.
Is there a workaround?
Many thanks.

New Paragraph Forces a Space to the Left
What you mean is presumably the paragraph indentation. It is determined by the length \parindent (default value 17pt). Just set it to 0pt in the preamble of your document. But then you should choose another way of visually separating two paragraphs like a vertical skip. Specific help only possible with a true minimal example.
