I am using the titlesec package to adjust the spacing between paragraph-s.
My command overwrites the whitespace in the runin part, however, and I don't know how to retrieve it.
Compare the two parts of this image.
It is generated by the MWE below. I have happy with the vertical spacing in the second case---it uses medskipamount. However, I would like the default gap between the number and the text in the paragraph.
The titlesec documentation (Section 3.2) isn't so helpful on this matter. Any help from people here would be most appreciated!
I'd also like to know how to add a fullstop after the number automatically. I am not 100% decided on whether to include this or not, so I'd like an answer which explains both options.
MWE below.
\documentclass[]{article}
\usepackage{titlesec}
\begin{document}
\section{Default Behaviour}
\paragraph*{Paragraph 1}
with runin
\paragraph*{Paragraph 2}
with runin
\paragraph*{Paragraph 3}
with runin
\section{New Behaviour}
\titlespacing{\paragraph}
{0pt}{\medskipamount}{\smallskipamount}[what do I write in here?]
\paragraph*{Paragraph 1}
with runin
\paragraph*{Paragraph 2}
with runin
\paragraph*{Paragraph 3}
with runin
\end{document}
Update. The solution is super easy. The length before-sep is the vertical space before the paragraph but, very confusingly, after-sep is not the vertical space after the paragraph! Instead, it's the horizontal space after the title.
Pretty crazy use of terminology, but hey, hopefully this question will now be helpful to others!
