<para> (
Paragraph)
Description
Description
This element contains a single logical paragraph of the content text. This might include several text blocks intermixed with graphics, lists and tables. However, if it is not obvious where each logical paragraph begins, then each text block can be treated as a complete paragaph (and graphics, lists and tables would then be "outside" and between these paragraphs).
Parent Elements
The elements listed below may directly contain this element.
They are "parent" elements. Elements in referenced groups are included, up to two levels of group nesting.

Block-level Content : Paragraphs
General Attributes (shared with other elements)
Local Attributes (defined for this element alone)
Description
This attribute is used to set an indentation level for the paragraph. The implied level value is "0", indicating no indent. Each higher value indicates an additional indentation measure, where all measures are equivalent, so a paragaph that has an indentation level of "3" will be indented by three times the amount of one that has a value of "1".
Specification
This attribute is not required. The allowed values are "0", "1", "2", "3", "4" and "5".
