+
+<p>Paragraphing macros <em class="dfn">break</em>, or terminate, any pending output line
+so that a new paragraph can begin. Several paragraph types are
+available, differing in how indentation applies to them: to left, right,
+or both margins; to the first output line of the paragraph, all output
+lines, or all but the first. All paragraphing macro calls cause the
+insertion of vertical space in the amount stored in the <code class="code">PD</code>
+register, except at page or column breaks. Alternatively, a blank input
+line breaks the output line and vertically spaces by one vee.
