[tex-live] what to do if I want to use different paragraph separation

[David Carlisle]

Note  tex-live list is for issues relating to the texlive distribution,
not for help with tex questions, but anyway you could use
\usepackage{parskip}
which tries to hide some of the "hiddden" paragraphs from the
effects of increasing \parskip.
