I am using \vspace{3mm} for separating the paragraphs in my article (\documentclass[12pt, a4paper]{article}).
But most of the time it doesn't work properly. Sometimes it just puts the first few words/sentence of the following paragraph at the end of the previous one.
I need something like this:
Hello world.
\vspace{3mm}
How are you? I am good.
And sometimes I get this output:
Hello world. How are you?
I am good.
Do you know why? Or do you know another command that does the same?
You have
Hello world.
\vspace{3mm}
How are you? I am good.
Which is a single paragraph, so the \vspace is added after the current line, probably after good.
You could use
Hello world.
\vspace{3mm}
How are you? I am good.
Bur you should almost never need explicit spacing within the document anyway.
\vspacecommand... also a\noindenton the start of the next line could be needed\noindentit is almost always a sign that the markup is wrong somewhere....\parskipin the preamble, not add\vspacebetween each paragraph.\vspacein the end of the first sentence and not in the beggining of the second just because I can read it easier (+1 by the way)Hello world\\[3mm] How are you. However, I suggest you not to do that.
