LaTeX paragraphs

[RobMunfy]

Hey,

Is there a way to make Latex start a paragraph by default without an indent and on a new line, with an empty line in-between? I'd rather have it do this than the default new line and indent.

Have had a quick google around but can't find anything. Anyone got any ideas?

Thanks

I would just do: \newline\noindent Paragraph text here.

Any good? There is also a way to disable paragraph indents I think.

Paragraph indentations: By default (in most document classes), all paragraphs except for the first paragraph in a section are indented. To disable the indentation, set the "parindent" parameter to zero, by adding this to the preamble:
\setlength{\parindent}{0in}
To add additional spacing between paragraphs, set the "parskip" parameter to an appropriate value. For example:
\setlength{\parskip}{10pt}

If you want it applied to every paragraph in the document, add the following two lines to the top of your file:

\setlength{\parindent}{0pt}
\setlength{\parskip}{2ex}

*Edit* Damn, too slow!
