Re: Enter or Paragraph and Indentation

Bonjour Prof. Gregoire Lecerf,

(English follows.)

J’avais "tout" essayé et oui je pressais "Enter" pour activer la commande. Cependant, convaincu que les paragraphes devaient être initiés par "Paragraph", je n’en avais plus faits avec "Enter".
La commande TexMacs Document/Paragraph/First indentation (ou Format/Paragraph/First indentation) ainsi que Interline space ou Interparagraph space fonctionnent très bien maintenant. Je vais ajuster cela partout.
Étant plus un physicien qu’un typographe, j’ai beaucoup pouvoir utiliser les unités (mm, cm…).

Une question d’esthétique, si vous avec le temps. Est-il préférable de débuter un paragraphe avec une indentation (retrait) nulle et un espace entre paragraphe un peu plus grand ou un indentation de quelques mm et un espace entre paragraphe plus faible?

Merci grandement pour cette réponse rapide et éclairante.

PS. Plus j’utilise TexMacs, plus j’apprends et plus je l’apprécie.

Hello Prof. Gregoire Lecerf,

I had tried "everything" and yes I pressed "Enter" to activate the command. However, convinced that paragraphs should be initiated by "Paragraph", I had not made any more with "Enter".
The TexMacs command Document/Paragraph/First indentation (or Format/Paragraph/First indentation) as well as Interline space or Interparagraph space work very well now. I will adjust this everywhere.
Being more of a physicist than a typographer, I like to be able to use units (mm, cm ...).

A question of aesthetics, if you have time. Is it better to start a paragraph with a zero indentation and a slightly larger space between paragraphs or an indentation of a few mm and a smaller space between paragraphs?

Thank you very much for this quick and enlightening answer.
Normand
PS. The more I use TexMacs, the more I learn and the more I enjoy it.

>> ../.. • When I press "enter" it gives me a new paragraph with an indentation and a distance between paragraphs. However I think I should use the "Paragraph" command instead to introduce a new paragraph, each time, to have a better structured document. Is this the right way to do it even if it is a bit longer than pressing the "Enter" key?
