<html><body style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; ">I have observed a strange behavior for which I have no explanation.<div>I am working on a book-length manuscript (using \documentclass[11pt]{book}) which is put together from many files (for individual sections) by a master file using \input. I recently noticed that while in chapters 1 and 2 the beginning of each paragraph is indented, this stops beginning with chapter 3. I have examined the three files comprising the last section of chapter 2 (in which the last paragraph---about 8 lines---is indented) as well as the file creating chapter 3 (with a paragraph of opening text---not indented) and the one creating the first section of chapter 3 (also not indented).</div><div><br></div><div>It would be virtually impossible for me to attach all the files I use to this email, but I wonder if anyone can tell me what I should be looking for? I have certainly not put in anything that I conceive of as capable of changing the style.
