[Tex/LaTex] I want a double space between the paragraphs

spacing

I want double spacing between my lines so I used this:

\doublespacing

Now I also want a single double space between my paragraphs, what should I do in that case?

If I didn't change anything in my tex file, I would get a sort of a double double space (4 spaces). I can't tell that for sure, because I do not know how to measure a double space in tex file, but I am giving an approximation. Thus, to cut this short, if I want one double space between my paragraphs, what should I do?

Use a combination of setspace and parskip:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{kantlipsum}% for dummy text
\usepackage{parskip}
\usepackage{setspace}
\doublespacing
\parindent=1.5em % or whatever you need
\begin{document}
\kant[1-2]
\end{document}
