-<title>UK TeX FAQ -- question label paraparam</title>

-<h3>Why does it ignore paragraph parameters?</h3>
-<p/>When TeX is laying out text, it doesn&#8217;t work from word to word, or
-from line to line; the smallest complete unit it formats is the
-paragraph. The paragraph is laid down in a buffer, as it appears, and
-isn&#8217;t touched further until the end-paragraph marker is processed.
-It&#8217;s at this point that the paragraph parameters have effect; and it&#8217;s
-because of this sequence that one often makes mistakes that lead to
-the paragraph parameters not doing what one would have hoped (or
-expected).
-<p/>Consider the following sequence of LaTeX:
-<blockquote>
-<pre>
-{\raggedright % declaration for ragged text
-Here's text to be ranged left in our output,
-but it's the only such paragraph, so we now
-end the group.}
-
-Here's more that needn't be ragged...
-</pre>
-</blockquote><p>
-TeX will open a group, and impose the ragged-setting parameters within
-that group; it will then save a couple of sentences of text and
-close the group (thus restoring the previous value of the
-parameters that <code>\</code><code>raggedright</code> set). Then TeX encounters a blank
-line, which it knows to treat as a <code>\</code><code>par</code> token, so it typesets the
-two sentences; but because the enclosing group has now been closed,
-the parameter settings have been lost, and the paragraph will be
-typeset normally.
-<p/>The solution is simple: close the paragraph inside the group, so that
-the setting parameters remain in place. An appropriate way of doing
-that is to replace the last three lines above with:
-<blockquote>
-<pre>
-end the group.\par}
-Here's more that needn't be ragged...
-</pre>
-</blockquote><p>
-In this way, the paragraph is completed while <code>\</code><code>raggedright</code>&#8217;s
-parameters are still in force within the enclosing group.
-<p/>Another alternative is to define an environment that does the
-appropriate job for you. For the above example, LaTeX already
-defines an appropriate one:
-<blockquote>
-<pre>
-\begin{flushleft}
-Here's text to be ranged left...
-\end{flushleft}
-</pre>
-</blockquote><p>
-<p/>In fact, there are a number of parameters for which TeX only
-maintains one value per paragraph. A tiresome one is the set of upper
-case/lower case translations, which (oddly enough) constrains
-hyphenation of mutilingual texts. Another that regularly creates
-confusion is <a href="FAQ-baselinepar.html"><code>\</code><code>baselineskip</code></a>.
