Re: Paragraph indentation suppression

[Karl Berry]

            New changelog and patch.

Excellent, I installed this patch in CVS, with some changes:

1) I changed the control words to `none' (to suppress it) and
   `insert' (to include it), and changed the code to actually switch
   back and forth in case someone is crazy enough to specify it twice.
   I admit I didn't test it though :).

2) I removed the --no-first-par-indent option that you specified.  Does
   this really need to be controlled on the command line?  Most other
   such options can't be.  I'll put it back if ...

3) trickiest question, about the defaults.  As I checked it in, I made
   the strange choice to make the default for TeX be to suppress
   indentation (as you suggested), but the default for makeinfo be to
   include it.
   
   In info files, not indenting the first paragraph looks really strange
   to me.  (Even the TeX output looks somewhat strange to me, because of
   all the whitespace in the Texinfo layout.  Maybe I'm just not used to
   it yet.)

What do you think?

Thanks much for all the work,
