Paragraph Indenting

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).
0
Omit all indentation.
n
Indent by n space characters in Info output, by n ems in TeX.

The default value of indent is `asis'. @paragraphindent is ignored for HTML output.

Write the @paragraphindent command before or shortly after the end-of-header line at the beginning of a Texinfo file. (If you write the command between the start-of-header and end-of-header lines, the region formatting commands indent paragraphs as specified.)

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. See section Refilling Paragraphs, for further information.
