I can use:
\setlength{\parskip}{\baselineskip}
\setlength{\parindent}{0pt}
But this messes up the rest of the document as it also increases the spacing after chapters, sections, sub-sections, and sub-sub-sections. As well as this it increases the white space between text and equations, equations and other equations, figures, tables, and lists etc.
I only want it to add white space between two text paragraphs, so the spacing between text and equations etc stays at the default size.
The way I have been doing this so far is to manually add:
\\
After each paragraph. This does exactly what I want, but since the project I'm working on is a large collaborative project this is undesirable as someone is likely to forget.
I'd also ideally like to do this without having to put all text inside a custom \begin{myParagraph}
environment for the same reasons.
Is there something I can put in my header.tex
file to sort all of this out automatically?
\parskip
, the\parindent
setting only effects text paragraphs, and doesn't effect section titles, lists, equations and figures, so can I redefine this command so it inserts a vertical space instead of a horizontal space?\\
after the paragraph makes latex complain about an underful hbox of badness 10000 in every case doesn't it?\parindent
is a tex primitive like\parskip
and affects exactly the same things, it may be that it is set to 0 locally, or suppressed with\noindent
in some places.
