to indent or not to indent at the beginning of paragraphs?

My sup likes it, I don't and I was wondering what common convention is.

I think I have asked this question before but would be good to know anyways as I've forgotten the answers from last time.

I think convention varies by discipline. You may need to look at some theses from your department, or discipline in generally.

Anyway I did my own thing. I don't like indenting. I also prefer to have a gap between paragraphs, for clarity's sake. I think that's probably going totally against the norm! But it's what I did, and it made it through past supervisors, and to my final corrected hard-bound thesis.

So you can do what you are more comfortable with, irrespective of the "norms".

My uni regulations say either indent and no gap, or gap and no indent. Personally I like having a gap and not indenting.

Well I've looked through 5 theses from my department - all gap, no indent. So I think sup must be living in the days of the typewriter or something. I don't like indents, I think it looks odd so am going with gap :-)
