I'm sorry to contradict you, but in my country (and, presumably,
in other latin countries as well) *every* paragraph gets indented. You
might find this weird, as weird as I find not indenting them. A handier
way to toggle between various indentation styles would be very
appreciated, believe me! It's the same problem as with the quotation
marks: English people put them both up, we (and the French, for
instance) put the first one down (and with the opposite orientation).
Please consider this, as it isn't a personal habit anymore, but a
cultural-specific one.
