By default, paragraphs (introduced by address@hidden') have their first line
indented.  This indentation is controlled by the address@hidden' setting,
in your `doc' setup file, for instance.

If you want to create paragraphs that are not indented, you can use
address@hidden'.  For example:

  ...
  @PP @Test

  @NP

  @LP @Test
  @PP @Test
  ...

Is this what you are looking for?

Unfortunately, there is only address@hidden', no address@hidden' and
address@hidden' --- perhaps we should add them?  In the mean time,
you will have to work around this problem.  For instance:

  @PP
  aaaa aaaa aaaa aaaa aaaa aaaa aaaa aaaa aaaa aaaa aaaa aaaa aaaa aaaa
  aaaa aaaa aaaa aaaa aaaa aaaa aaaa aaaa aaaa aaaa aaaa aaaa aaaa aaaa
  aaaa aaaa aaaa aaaa aaaa aaaa aaaa aaaa aaaa aaaa aaaa aaaa aaaa aaaa

  @LP @LP # Increase the gap above address@hidden'
  @Display { bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb bbbb }

  @PP
  cccc cccc cccc cccc cccc cccc cccc cccc cccc cccc cccc cccc cccc cccc
  cccc cccc cccc cccc cccc cccc cccc cccc cccc cccc cccc cccc cccc cccc
  cccc cccc cccc cccc cccc cccc cccc cccc cccc cccc cccc cccc cccc cccc

  @End @Text


I hope this helps!

Ludovic.
