Add a paragraph block to a page in GitBook so you can insert formatted text, inline images and more. |
A paragraph is the most basic content block you can use on GitBook. It’s exactly what it says — a paragraph of text.
{% hint style="info" %} You can add other inline content to your paragraph, such as emojis, images and Math & TeX. You can also format your paragraph text using the context menu or keyboard shortcuts, or using Markdown. {% endhint %}
Professionally printed material in English typically does not indent the first paragraph, but indents those that follow. For example, Robert Bringhurst states that we should “set opening paragraphs flush left.”
Because a paragraph block is just text, that’s how it’s represented in Markdown.
