\\ command in latex creates a new paragraph. I want a command in which when I finish a line, I want to have next line black and then I want to start from the left of next line. Is there an easy command for this.
Example:
What I want:
'I wrote something here
I want to start from here'
What I do not want :
'I wrote something here
command in latex starts from here, with gap in the left'
The default with the standard classes are paragraphs, whose first lines are indented and without additional space inbetween:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{lipsum}
\begin{document}
\lipsum[2-4]
\end{document}
Package parskip adds space between paragraphs and the paragraphs start without indentation:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{lipsum}
\usepackage{parskip}
\begin{document}
\lipsum[2-4]
\end{document}
In TeX paragraphs are ended by an empty line (which triggers an \par command).
\\ is mainly used in tables (environment tabular), or where explicit line breaks are needed. \\ at the end of a paragraph (before an empty line) is an error. TeX has broken the line to start a new one, but there is nothing causing an underfull \hbox warning.
\noindentafter an empty line starts a new paragraph without indentation. If you want to have space between paragraphs without paragraph indentation, see packageparskip. – Heiko Oberdiek Apr 12 '15 at 18:08\\in LaTeX does not start a new paragraph. If you want to start a new paragraph, as Heiko says, leave a blank line. – Manuel Apr 12 '15 at 18:15\documentclass{...}and ending with\end{document}. – Martin Schröder Apr 12 '15 at 18:34\setlength\parindent{0pt} \setlength\parskip{1ex}– Sean Allred Apr 12 '15 at 18:42
