Paragraph Indenting

The Info formatting commands may insert spaces at the beginning of the first line of each paragraph, thereby indenting that paragraph. You can use the @paragraphindent command to specify the indentation. Write an @paragraphindent command at the beginning of a line followed by either `asis' or a number. The template is:

@paragraphindent indent

The Info formatting commands indent according to the value of indent:

The default value of indent is `asis'.

Write the @paragraphindent command before or shortly after the end-of-header line at the beginning of a Texinfo file. (If you write the command between the start-of-header and end-of-header lines, the region formatting commands indent paragraphs as specified.)

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 section Refilling Paragraphs, for a detailed description of what goes on.
