\maketitle

This is \texttt{parskip.sty} by H.~Partl, TU Wien, as of 19 Jan 1989.
Addition (originally from Donald Arseneau) added 2001-12-13 by Robin
Fairbairns.

Package to be used with any document class at any size.
It produces the following Paragraph Layout:

\begin{quote}
  Zero Parindent and non-zero Parskip. The stretchable glue in \cmd{\parskip}
  helps \LaTeX\ in finding the best place for page breaks.
\end{quote}

In addition, the package adjusts the skips between list items.

With package option \texttt{parfill}, the package also adjusts
\cmd\parfillskip{} to impose a minimum space at the end of
the last line of a paragraph.

This package is no more than quick fix; the `proper' way to achieve
effects as far-reaching as this is to create a new class.  An
example class is to be found in the \cls{ntgclass} set:
\cls{artikel3.cls}

The \cls{koma-script} bundle classes and the \cls{memoir} class all
provide similar functionality, and their respective documentation
files discuss the pros (such as they are) and cons of this approach.
