<h2>Indents</h2>
<p>Everything in typography is about being subtle, and styling the separation
between paragraphs is no different.</p>
<p>Denoting a new paragraph should hardly be noticable to the reader, and
first-line indents are a good way to achieve that. The first paragraph
doesn’t need to be indented.</p>
</section>
<section class='section section--blue'>
<h2>Or Margins</h2>
<p>Spacing is the other way to set off a new paragraph. You can do this with
the <code>bottom-margin</code> CSS property.</p>
<p>We find that using a bottom margin makes it a little easier to scan a web
page, while indents give more of a narrative or newspaper-y feel.</p>
</section>
<section class='section section--red never-both'>
<h2>But Never Both</h2>
<p>The purpose of a first-line indent or bottom margin is to indicate to the
reader that, well, you’re starting a new paragraph.</p>
<p>Readers aren’t stupid, and they don’t need two signs that a new paragraph is happening. That’s redundant.</p>
