There are many technical publications in which various
equations and examples appear on lines by themselves
in the middle of paragraphs.  These examples require
space around them, and therefore imply that the style
of the surrounding document include space between paragraphs.

Unfortunately in such cases the space alone is insufficient
for indicating the start of paragraphs, since it often happens
that a paragraph continues after an example.  Regrettably,
such texts are clearer when paragraphs are indented and
spaced.
