I'm writing my thesis in overleaf. I am using \\ to indicate the end of a paragraph. This works perfectly for the entire document, besides for my first numbered chapter (all previous chapters have been defined as \chapter*{}). My source text looks like this:


\chapter{Introduction}
\section{Glioblastoma}

blablabla.\


blablablablabla.\


blablablabla.\

and shows up as the following:

weirdly spaced text

The problem stops once the next page starts. Does anyone know what could be causing this?

    Why are you using \\\? The empty lines you have imply new paragraphs. – mickep Aug 16 '22 at 11:37

    \\ does not end a paragraph never use it at the end of a paragraph: it forces a spurious blank line and latex will warn you of badness 10000 (which is maximum badness) – David Carlisle Aug 16 '22 at 11:47

    If you prefer explicit ends of paragraph instead of blank lines , use \par, not \. Anyway, set \parskip to some more than 0pt (the default) if you want some space between paragraphs. – Fran Aug 16 '22 at 20:30
