Hi, I am new in this mailing list and new user on LaTeX 2e. This is my first mail and forgive me if there are mistakes in this message, cause my English is not very good. Anyway, I found an inconvenient using paragraph on LaTeX 2e. Everytime I begin a new paragraph after sectioning command (\chapter, \section, etc.), it isn't indented. But next paragraphs after it, they are indented. I don't know which standard it is. So, I made a trick to avoid this by using an empty paragraph after sectioning command. For example, %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \section{INTRODUCTION} \ % empty paragraph XXXXXXXXXX % first paragraph YYYYYYYYYY % second paragraph ..... etc. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% But it makes new problem. Widow sentence might be occured when sectioning command line separated with first paragraph if page break occured between them. Could anyone suggest what I have to do to make every new paragraph indented no matter where they placed ? And what is normal paragraph described in LaTeX Document Preparation book ? Thank you.
