+<a class="index-entry-id" id="index-paragraphs"></a>
+
+<p>Paragraphs can be separated and indented in various ways. Some start
+with a blank line and have a first-line indentation, like most of the
+ones in this manual. Block paragraphs omit the indentation.
+</p>
+<div class="example">
+<div class="group"><pre class="example-preformatted"> &rArr; Some men look at constitutions with sanctimonious
+ &rArr; reverence, and deem them like the ark of the
+ &rArr; covenant, too sacred to be touched.
+</pre></div></div>
+
+<a class="index-entry-id" id="index-tags_002c-paragraph"></a>
+<a class="index-entry-id" id="index-tagged-paragraphs"></a>
+<a class="index-entry-id" id="index-lists"></a>
+<p>We also frequently encounter <i class="slanted">tagged</i> paragraphs, which begin
+with a tag or label at the left margin and indent the remaining text.
+</p>
+<div class="example">
+<div class="group"><pre class="example-preformatted"> &rArr; one This is the first paragraph. Notice how the
+ &rArr; first line of the resulting paragraph lines
+ &rArr; up with the other lines in the paragraph.
+</pre></div></div>
+
+<p>If the tag is too wide for the indentation, the line is broken.
+</p>
+<div class="example">
+<div class="group"><pre class="example-preformatted"> &rArr; longlabel
+ &rArr; The label does not align with the subsequent
+ &rArr; lines, but they align with each other.
+</pre></div></div>
+
+<p>A variation of the tagged paragraph is the itemized or enumerated
+paragraph, which might use punctuation or a digit for a tag,
+respectively. These are frequently used to construct lists.
+</p>
+<div class="example">
+<div class="group"><pre class="example-preformatted"> &rArr; o This list item starts with a bullet. When
+ &rArr; producing output for a device using the ASCII
+ &rArr; character set, an 'o' is formatted instead.
+</pre></div></div>
+
+<p>Often, use of the same macro without a tag continues such a discussion.
+</p>
+<div class="example">
+<div class="group"><pre class="example-preformatted"> &rArr; -xyz This option is recognized but ignored.
+ &rArr;
+ &rArr; It had a security hole that we don't discuss.
+</pre></div></div>
