-<h3>Zero paragraph indent</h3>
-<p/>The conventional way of typesetting running text has no separation
-between paragraphs, and the first line of each paragraph in a block of
-text indented.
-<p/>In contrast, one common convention for typewritten text was to have no
-indentation of paragraphs; such a style is often required for
-&#8220;brutalist&#8221; publications such as technical manuals, and in styles
-that hanker after typewritten manuscripts, such as
-officially-specified dissertation formats.
-<p/>Anyone can see, after no more than a moment&#8217;s thought, that if the
-paragraph indent is zero, the paragraphs must be separated by blank
-space: otherwise it is sometimes going to be impossible to see the
-breaks between paragraphs.
-<p/>The simple-minded approach to zero paragraph indentation is thus:
-<pre>
- \setlength{\parindent}{0pt}
- \setlength{\parskip}{\baselineskip}
-</pre>
-and in the very simplest text, it&#8217;s a fine solution.
-<p/>However, the non-zero <code>\</code><code>parskip</code> interferes with lists and the like,
-and the result looks pretty awful. The <i>parskip</i> package
-patches things up to look reasonable; it&#8217;s not perfect, but it deals
-with most problems.
-<p/>The Netherlands Users&#8217; Group&#8217;s set of classes includes an
-<i>article</i> equivalent (<i>artikel3</i>) and a <i>report</i>
-equivalent (<i>rapport3</i>) whose design incorporates zero paragraph
-indent and non-zero paragraph skip.
