Syntax: <code>Paragraph [</code><var>n</var><code>]</code><br>
Abbreviation: <code>PA</code>
<p class="noindent">reformats <var>n</var> paragraphs from the cursor position onwards. If
<var>n</var> 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
<code>RightMargin</code> command. See <a href="RightMargin.html#RightMargin">RightMargin</a>.
<p><code>ne</code>'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.
<p>After the <code>Paragraph</code> 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).
<p>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.
