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:
asisDo not change the existing indentation (not implemented in TeX).
noneOmit all indentation.
Indent by n space characters in Info output, by n ems in TeX.
The default value of indent is 3. @paragraphindent is
ignored for HTML output.
It is best to write the @paragraphindent command before the
end-of-header line at the beginning of a Texinfo file, so the region
formatting commands indent paragraphs as specified. See Start of Header.
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 Refilling Paragraphs, for further information.
