Some paragraphs in my document do not indent, what ever I try. I have solved some of them using the \parindent and \usepackage{indentfirst} but these specific ones do not seem to work. In those specific paragraphs, I include some math environments. Following each paragraph is a math environment on its own line. Can someone tell me how to fix this?

Here is the code and subsequent pdf view: enter image description here

The added code at the beginning of the document:

  • Depending on your \documentclass, the indentation may be set to zero by default. Add, for example, \parindent=15pt\relax to your preamble and see what happens upon recompilation. – Steven B. Segletes Jun 21 '17 at 11:55
  • Welcome to [tex.se]! Just posting code from the middle of the document is not sufficient, we need to see what documentclass etc. is being used. Please provide a short minimal working example (MWE) demonstrating the problem. – Andrew Swann Jun 21 '17 at 11:56

    Unrelated, but you shouldn't use $$ ... $$ in LaTeX (https://tex.stackexchange.com/q/503). For single line equations, use \[ ... \], for multiline equations without alignment (like your first two equation blocks, add \usepackage{amsmath} if you haven't already, and use \begin{gather*} first line \\ second line \\ third line \end{gather*}. – Torbjørn T.

    never use a blank line before display math (and don't use $$ for display math in latex) you appear to have parindent set to 0pt. but as you have shown no code it is hard to be sure. – David Carlisle Jun 21 '17 at 12:07

    Unfortunately @StevenBSegletes, the \parindent=15pt\relax did not change a thing. I had set \setlength{\parindent}{6ex} – Marco Froelich Jun 23 '17 at 20:13

    It is better to post code itself, rather than images of code. That way, those who would otherwise help you can copy/paste the code. With an image, that is not possible. – Steven B. Segletes Jun 23 '17 at 20:18
