Re: Hidden Gems

Can anyone explain why the first paragraphs of each section aren’t indented? Is it an HTML failure or is it aping some lit style I’m not aware of.

I hate indenting but if all the fic uses it I can deal, but this is weird.

Some people think that indenting the first paragraph (in a section) isn't necessary because the point of indentation is to make the paragraph break clear. Personally, I think if you're already inserting an extra line then it already makes the paragraph break clear...but this isn't the worst non-standard formatting I've seen.

ayrt

Thank you! I figured it had to be on purpose or a weird reaction to the break being centered. Learn something new every day.

It's a lit style, though it's been so long since my last lit class I can't remember what it's actually called. There's at least one standard format where the first paragraph of a chapter isn't indented.

I don't like indenting when there are also line breaks between the paragraphs. They serve the same purpose and doing both looks awkward to me.
