My sincere thanks to all who have responded on this issue. There
are now too many outstanding replies for me to respond to each
individually, but I am especially grateful to Akira-san for
providing the relevant documentation and to others who have referred
me to existing sources of information. I will, if I may, just
respond to Ulrike's most recent message :<br>
<blockquote cite="mid:yqgjef6ov9hp$.dlg@nililand.de" type="cite"><br>
<pre wrap="">I don't agree that a \parindent at this place is not needed. How
should the reader know that a new paragraph is starting (or not
starting) here if the parindent is missing? </pre>
</blockquote>
I agree that this is a very subjective area, which is why I wrote in
my original message "where (IMHO) these are not required". To my
mind, the improved aesthetics of a page that does not start with a
\parindent outweigh the consequence semantic loss. And I also agree
that there is no way to automatically remove all unwanted
\parindents in a single pass, but the text on which I am currently
working is now fully press-ready and I am therefore willing to spend
a little extra time improving the aesthetics, even though I
appreciate that it will almost certainly be a multi-pass task. <br>
