I cannot obtain a skip/indention at the beginning of the first line below. Any help?

    Most document classes suppress the indentation in the first paragraph following a title. You can try \usepackage{indentfirst}, but that depends on several other factors. – egreg May 21 '23 at 16:30
  • @egreg Great it works. But, why down-vote ? – user2925716 May 21 '23 at 16:36

    @user2925716 - I didn't downvote your posting, and I'm also baffled why somebody would see fit to cast a downvote. Actually, I just upvoted your posting, to "even the score". – Mico May 21 '23 at 16:55
  • @Mico Traditionally typesetitng the first paragraph after a title (or figure or table or..) does not start with an indentation. To me the question boiled down to typesetting.I think that this site covers both LaTeX code as to your to get the appearance you are after – Peter Wilson May 21 '23 at 17:17
  • Do you want indentation for all paragraphs afer sectioning titles or only this particular one? – user691586 May 21 '23 at 17:24
  • @user691586 Perhaps all. Can I get help on this site on how to minimize the work needed to convert this template into my own thesis ? – user2925716 May 21 '23 at 17:45
  • Then if for all the indentfirst approach already advised may be a good shot. – user691586 May 21 '23 at 17:47
  • @PeterWilson - To me, a downvote on this site is a very strong signal of condemnation and rejection. Not the best way to start a conversation... – Mico May 21 '23 at 18:31
  • @user2925716 I didn't downvote. On the other hand, this is a duplicate. – egreg May 21 '23 at 19:16

    @Mico Erm, sorry, I was the downvoter but it was a slip. I must've touched the arrow without realizing (on smartphone) and I noticed only now. It wasn't meant. – campa May 22 '23 at 09:39
  • @egreg Or even you may have a look at my EDIT please ? – user2925716 May 22 '23 at 15:27

    @user2925716 -- The EDIT points to a page which lists four templates, one based on memoir, and the other three unattributed (I didn't examine the templates themselves). To which template does the "doesn't work" apply, or to all four? – barbara beeton May 22 '23 at 16:02
  • @barbarabeeton To this: kaobook. – user2925716 May 22 '23 at 16:16
  • @barbarabeeton I have noticed only now that there are in fact four templates. Which one is the most noble ? – user2925716 May 22 '23 at 16:19
  • @barbarabeeton Please see also this question. – user2925716 May 22 '23 at 16:38

    The class passes parskip=half to scrbook. Add parskip=off to the class options. – egreg May 22 '23 at 17:49
  • @user2925716 -- I'm sorry; I'm not familiar with any of these thesis templates, or with thesis templates in general. I was looking to see if there was anything obvious, but aside from the ambiguity caused by four possibilities, there wasn't. I'm often not able to fully answer a question, but try to make sure there's enough information for someone more familiar with the area to answer easily. – barbara beeton May 22 '23 at 19:12
  • @egreg Works. Do you happen to know why \usepackage[Lenny]{fncychap} doesn't work for the classic thesis template ? It should yield a decorative style of chapter headings. – user2925716 May 23 '23 at 19:08
  • @user2925716 Why would you use fncychap at all? My personal opinion is that the package provides very ugly chapter styles. Anyway, you're using a template that works hard to define a specific chapter style: why using the template if you want to change it? – egreg May 23 '23 at 19:42

The kaobook class passes parskip=half to the scrbook class it's based on. Add

parskip=off

to the class options and

\usepackage{indentfirst}

\hspace{20pt} might work (the default indent is 20pt).
