Oh, gosh, absolutely! If I did both I would be severely chastised by John D. Berry, Ron Drummond, and Olav M. Kvern, each of whom is The Man in different subsets of typesetting and book design. Indent and blank line would be Really Bad Typesetting.

I wonder if anyone has done a study of whether it's easier to read from a screen if text is typeset in a typically bookish way, or if it's easier with a blank line between paragraphs? Or does it depend on the person, the system? An awful lot of sites use the blank line, but does anybody know if it's a conscious choice or if it just grew that way, like Topsy?

Best,
