#### 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 paragraph 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).

If you think paragraphing should insert “smart” spaces after full stops and colons, and do other “smart” things such as justification, you should consider using a text formatter. TeX is usually the best choice.
