= LaTeX Indentation = LaTeX does a great deal of arithmetic to arrive at the 'best' alignment of text. Sometimes, 'best' just isn't good enough. <> ---- == Paragraph Indentation == Paragraph indentation length is set by `\parindent`. To change it, try: {{{ \setlength\parindent{24pt} }}} Most paragraphs are automatically indented on the first line. The primary exception is the paragraph immediately following a section title. To force indentation on that paragraph, include the `indentfirst` package at the top of the document (i.e. `\usepackage{indentfirst}`). ---- CategoryRicottone
