Start of new Paragraph (with Indentation)

Post by ljl16 »

Hey guys,

I was wondering if there is another way of starting a new paragraph other than pushing enter two times. I have tried writing \\ (line break, from what I understand), but that starts a new paragraph without indenting the first line (and since it's not the first paragraph, I would want that).

Thanks!

Edit: I added the pictures to clarify the examples.

Hi,

welcome to the board!

You could write \par or \endgraf, I would prefer the first one.

Screenshots are great for readers, also for those who are reading it later when coming via google or other search engines, for quick understanding.

For getting the best help, posting code such as a Infominimal working example is much more effective.
