这是关于排版段落的一般问题。我想知道在文档中混合两种不同类型的段落跳过是否是好的(或可接受的)做法,例如
- 跳过“真正的”段落,比如在段落之间留一个空行
- 仅使用换行符跳过“小”段落
为了方便起见,这里有一个使用 KOMA 脚本类的简单示例:
\documentclass[parskip=half*]{scrartcl}
\usepackage{lipsum}
\begin{document}
This is the beginning of a new thought that deserves a new
paragraph. It will probably stretch out over quite a few lines. The
thought is a bit complex, so while everything that is necessary to
explain it should be kept in one paragraph, it would be nice to have
some additional \textit{within-paragraph} structure.\newline
\lipsum[1][1-4]\newline
\lipsum[1][5-7]
This is the beginning of another thought that deserves a new paragraph.
It will probably stretch over quite a few lines.\newline
\lipsum[2][1-4]
\end{document}
我内心的纯粹主义者认为应该只有一种段落跳过类型。然而,就我目前正在写的内容而言,这会导致要么段落非常长,要么段落非常短。在长段落中,很难快速识别属于同一超点的逻辑子点。如果我坚持这种设置,短段落看起来很奇怪,parskip=half*
我会失去逻辑子点和新超点之间的视觉区别。
我期待您的想法,如果这个问题对于这个论坛来说太过主观,我深感抱歉。
答案1
我认为,段落之间不应该有空白是普遍接受的。根据你的问题,这是“小段落跳过”。
对于读者来说,段落之间更明显的间隔表明主题/重点的变化。
类(和memoir
的超集)提供了指定段落之间“匿名”分隔符的方法。book

% anonbreakprob.tex SE 642964
\documentclass{memoir}
\newcommand{\sometext}{This is just some text, not meaning anything, that
hopefully will take up more than one line in the typeset output.}
\begin{document}
\sometext
Regular paragraph break.
\sometext
\sometext
Two line paragraph break
\plainbreak{2}
\sometext
\sometext
A fancy break
\fancybreak{{*}\\{* * *}\\{*}}
\sometext
\end{document}
我认为,作为排版师,如何区分涉及一般主题不同方面的段落取决于您。主要目的是帮助读者,而不是让读者感到困惑。如上所示,您可以根据各个段落主题的差异程度对它们进行不同的区分。
答案2
从逻辑上讲,这是没有垂直跳跃的段落,并且在最后一段之前有一个无头(子)部分,所以我会这样做
\documentclass[]{scrartcl}
\usepackage{lipsum}
\newcommand\bigpar{\par\bigskip}
\begin{document}
This is the beginning of a new thought that deserves a new
paragraph. It will probably stretch out over quite a few lines. The
thought is a bit complex, so while everything that is necessary to
explain it should be kept in one paragraph, it would be nice to have
some additional \textit{within-paragraph} structure.
\lipsum[1][1-4]
\lipsum[1][5-7]
\bigpar
This is the beginning of another thought that deserves a new paragraph.
It will probably stretch over quite a few lines.
\lipsum[2][1-4]
\end{document}
