 Paragraph Indenting
 -------------------
 
   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:
 
 `asis'
      Do not change the existing indentation (not implemented in TeX).
 
 `none'
 0
      Omit all indentation.
 
 N
      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.   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.   Refilling
 Paragraphs, for further information.
