+### Paragraph Indentation
+
+By default the margin below paragraphs has been removed and indent added to each. This is an intiatial design decision to mimic the look of type set in a printed book or manuscript.

+
+To disable the indents and add spacing between paragraphs change the following line in `_sass/variables.scss` from `true !default` to `false` like so.
+
+{% highlight css %}
+$paragraph-indent: false;
