3.7.4 @paragraphindent
: Controlling Paragraph Indentation
The Texinfo processors may insert whitespace at the beginning of the
first line of each paragraph, thereby indenting that paragraph. You can
use the @paragraphindent
command to specify this indentation.
Write an @paragraphindent
command at the beginning of a line
followed by either ‘asis’ or a number:
@paragraphindent indent
The indentation is according to the value of indent:
asis
Do not change the existing indentation (not implemented in TeX).
none
- 0
Omit all indentation.
- n
Indent by n space characters in Info output, by n ems in TeX.
The default value of indent is 3. @paragraphindent
is
ignored for HTML output.
It is best to write the @paragraphindent
command before the
end-of-header line at the beginning of a Texinfo file, so the region
formatting commands indent paragraphs as specified. See section Start of Header.
A peculiarity of the texinfo-format-buffer
and
texinfo-format-region
commands is that they do not indent (nor
fill) paragraphs that contain @w
or @*
commands.
