This might be the stupidest question ever asked on TeX.sx, but I recently changed my paragraphing style and now run into problems. Consider the following MWE:
\documentclass{scrartcl}
\begin{document}
This is a line. This is a line. This is a line. This is a line. This is a line.
Indented new paragraph. Indented new paragraph. Indented new paragraph. Indented new paragraph. Indented new paragraph.\\
New block again indented. Should not be indented.
\end{document}
It produces the following output:
In my opinion, there should not be an indented in the second paragraph. How do I avoid this?

Manual solution: Add
\noindent
at the beginning of the paragraph that shouldn't be indented.Automatic solution: Enable
parskip
, i.e. space in between paragraphs and create a custom macro for "indented linebreaks". This works, but by all means isn't pretty. What I wrote in my comment to your question still applies, and have a look at p. 49f (0.5 pages) of section 3.1.3 of the KOMA-Script manual about the disadvantages ofparskip
.To find out the current
\parindent
(e.g. if you've loaded a document class with a12pt
option), remove theparskip
option and add\the\parskip
to your document body, which will print the current value of\parindent
to your document.
