Hello!

Im writing a technical report with "article" as documentclass in Latex

How can I cut off a line?
I have a long piece of text and I want to cut it of like a new paragraph

how do I do that? I have tried to use // but thats wrong...

thanks

To start a new paragraph in latex, simply leave a blank line in the source document. A single carriage return has no effect in latex. For example,

Code:

This is paragraph one.
This is still paragraph one and will in fact appear on the same line as the previous sentence.

This is paragraph two
