## Details Request: #417 Add `paragraph.indent` configuration option. Functions similarly to `paragraph.left_margin` but only applies to the first row of each paragraph, mimicking the behavior of most word processors. By default set to 0, resulting in no visible change out of the box. Since we only query for paragraphs directly under sections this should avoid any edge cases with paragraphs under list items and other ways paragraphs get nested. Other changes: - Add `indent` module for computing line / size / level, create in `base` rather than containing all the logic directly. - Make the separation between `core` and `lib` meaningful. Anything that gets `setup` from state or initialized through plugin directory goes in `core`. All other modules go in `lib`: - colors : root -> core - command : root -> core - manager : root -> core - config : root -> lib - presets : root -> lib - buffer : core -> lib - context : core -> lib - conceal : core -> lib - extmark : core -> lib - range : core -> lib - ts : integ -> core - icons : integ -> lib - As a result the only remaining modules at the root are: - api : in case user requires it - health : convention - init : convention - state : LazyVim requires it - types : best location, can move at any time - Aliases types that get resolved to a concrete value at runtime like heading icons now get generic names like `String` or `Integer`, no more field specific names like `Icons`. - `config/custom_handlers.lua` -> `config/handlers.lua` - add an alias for `string|string[]` in the context of highlights - `render.md.callback` -> `render.md.on` - remove `indent` field from code render data, compute where needed - remove all `require` statements from top of `api` module - update CHANGELOG

Added here: 57c7f33 Supports indentation at the start of paragraphs, enable via: require('render-markdown').setup({
paragraph = { indent = 4 },
})Concealing empty lines between paragraphs is not something I want to add support for. It's a little too finicky to determine if the previous line is between 2 paragraphs or a paragraph and some other block (heading, code block, etc.). |

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
A somewhat obscure, probably low-priority, and possibly unwanted feature idea. I sometimes write prose in nvim+markdown, and in such a case I like nvim to replicate some properties of standard word processors.
One thing I have been missing (from any plugin, not just this one) is that are paragraphs demarcated by first-line-indentation. For example, instead of:
It would show:
Describe the solution you'd like
The underlying markdown paragraphs should remain standard; without the indents and separated by empty lines.
In my mind, the
render-markdownplugin would conceal the empty line, and add spacing on the first line of each paragraph. (Perhaps with the option to have just one or the other.)Sounds simple in concept but there might be complications when it comes to how this functionality interacts with other elements like lists.
Describe alternatives you've considered
Perhaps this could be formatter functionality. I don't know of any formatters that can do this however, and this approach would result in non-standard markdown syntax.
The other solution is just to make do with a previewer plugin.
