7.2.2 Indenting the First Line of a Paragraph
7.2.2 Indenting the First Line of a Paragraph
Some people prefer paragraphs in which the first line is indented. Knowing about the intricacies of tabs, you might be concerned that pressing Tab to indent the opening line of your paragraph will incite Emacs to indent the whole paragraph as you continue typing. And it would, to be honest.
Emacs provides a special mode for this purpose: paragraph indent text mode. It's also available as a minor mode. Enter either M-x paragraph-indent-text-mode or M-x paragraph-indent-minor-mode respectively. If you run the major mode, Emacs displays Parindent on the mode line.
When you press Tab to start a paragraph, Emacs inserts a tab's worth of space. When you start a new paragraph, you don't have to skip a line in between and pressing Tab to start that second paragraph yields again a tab's worth of space, not aligning with the second word of the previous line as Emacs would do in text mode or fundamental mode.
Pressing M-q reformats paragraphs without mushing them all together. If you prefer indented paragraphs, this mode is exactly what you want. When you need to indent a block quote, you may want to temporarily enter text mode to make it easier and add your paragraph indentations manually.
