Vim reflow paragraph adds unwanted indentation

Question

When I use `gqap' command to reflow a paragraph in vim, vim seems to try to be smart and adds indentation automatically, e.g.

• When a line ends with a ',':

We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and (2),
   offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy, distribute
   and/or modify the software.

• When a line has unmatched brackets:

Program or a portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or
translated into another language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without
        limitation in the term "modification".) Each licensee is addressed as
"you". 

Is there a way to turn this off?

Thanks!

Answer 1

What filetype do you do this in? And what is the output of ':set'?

If you copy your texts to an empty file, it formats it the way you want it. I have smartindent and autoindent enabled, so you could try that. (set si, set ai)

Answer 2

I notice I have cindent set.. Unset that and instead set smartindent and autoindent and it works now. Thank you!
