#### 4.8.2 Paragraph ¶

Syntax: `Paragraph [n]`
Abbreviation: `PA`

reformats n paragraphs from the cursor position onwards. If n is not specified, it is assumed to be one. The paragraphs are formatted relatively to the value of the right margin as set by the `RightMargin` command. See RightMargin.

`ne`’s notion of a paragraph includes the current non-blank line (regardless of its leading white space) and all subsequent non-blank lines that have identical (to each other’s—not to the first line’s) leading white space. Therefore your paragraphs can have various first line indentations and left margins.

After the `Paragraph` command completes, your cursor will be positioned on the first non-blank character after the last reformatted paragraph (or, if there is no such character, at the end of the document).

`Paragraph` does not insert “smart” spaces after full stops and colons, nor does it do other “smart” things such as justification. If you need such facilities, you should consider using a text formatter. TeX for example is usually an excellent choice.
