Text Formatting ⇒ Indent paragraphs after chapter and section headings

[alarswilson]

LaTeX's default leaves the first paragraph after chapter, section, subsection etc. headings non indented. How do I make change this so that these are indented as other paragraphs are by default?

EDIT: I found a package that changes this setting, no need for help.

FYI: indentfirst.sty

I already showed you with a complete example that you don't need that package [1]. You should have noticed that if you tested it. This can also be done with the titlesec package. Take a look at its options and read its manual. Load only packages you really need.

Thank you; I did not look closely enough at your code. My apologies. As always you are very helpful.

Here's the easiest solution I could think of:

Code: Select all

\section{Myheading}
\hspace{2em}This is my indented paragraph

It works with negative values too, for creating hanging indents as in this example:

Code: Select all

\section*{Bibliography}
\leftskip=2em
\parindent=-2em
