latex: Have new line between paragraphs, no indentation.

Question

I am sure that this must be a dup, but I can't find the right keywords to search for. So I am posting.

Right now my latex paragraphs look like this:

The paragraph does not start out with
an indent.  But when you make a new 
paragraph there is an indent.  
     This is a new paragraph.  Can 
you see the indent?  
     This is another paragraph. 

I would like to have no indenting but and an empty line between paragraphs.
This is what I am using to remove the indents:

\setlength{\parindent}{0}

But I am not sure how to add in new lines. I think it is something like this:

\setlength{\parskip}{1}

Happy Canada Day!

Answer 1

Use the \noindent command.

Example:

This is my paragraph.

\noindent My second paragraph

Answer 2

Single line

\parskip = \baselineskip

Two lines

\parskip = \baselineskip
\multiply \parskip by 2

or

\parskip = 2\baselineskip % no shrink and no stretch

Fixed vertical space

\parskip = 1cm % Or 1 mm or 1in, for example

Stretchable and shrinkable space

\parskip = 12pt plus 6pt minus 4pt

Zero space

\parskip = 0pt

Answer 3

Just include the following before \begin{document}

\usepackage[parfill]{parskip}

Answer 4

One solution if it's only locally you want this is to add \newline at the end of a paragraph to get the empty line between the paragraphs and \noindent at the beginning of the next i.e.

The first paragraph start out without an indent. \newline

\noindent This is a new paragraph without indent.

However, if you want the new lines between the paragraphs throughout the document this solution is tedious...
