Bonjour Prof. Gregoire Lecerf,

(English follows.)

J’avais "tout" essayé et oui je pressais "Enter" pour activer la commande. 
Cependant, convaincu que les paragraphes devaient être initiés par 
"Paragraph", je n’en avais plus faits avec "Enter".
La commande TexMacs Document/Paragraph/First indentation (ou 
Format/Paragraph/First indentation) ainsi que Interline space ou 
Interparagraph space fonctionnent très bien maintenant. Je vais ajuster cela 
partout.
Étant plus un physicien qu’un typographe, j’ai beaucoup pouvoir utiliser les 
unités (mm, cm…).

Une question d’esthétique, si vous avec le temps. Est-il préférable de 
débuter un paragraphe avec une indentation (retrait) nulle et un espace entre 
paragraphe un peu plus grand ou un indentation de quelques mm et un espace 
entre paragraphe plus faible?

Merci grandement pour cette réponse rapide et éclairante.
Normand
PS. Plus j’utilise TexMacs, plus j’apprends et plus je l’apprécie.

Hello Prof. Gregoire Lecerf,

I had tried "everything" and yes I pressed "Enter" to activate the command. 
However, convinced that paragraphs should be initiated by "Paragraph", I had 
not made any more with "Enter".
The TexMacs command Document/Paragraph/First indentation (or 
Format/Paragraph/First indentation) as well as Interline space or 
Interparagraph space work very well now. I will adjust this everywhere.
Being more of a physicist than a typographer, I like to be able to use units 
(mm, cm ...).

A question of aesthetics, if you have time. Is it better to start a paragraph 
with a zero indentation and a slightly larger space between paragraphs or an 
indentation of a few mm and a smaller space between paragraphs?

Thank you very much for this quick and enlightening answer.
Normand
PS. The more I use TexMacs, the more I learn and the more I enjoy it.
