    ã|Notes:ã%
The  "plus3pt"  after  the setting  of  "0pt"  means  that  up  to 3  points
additional space may be added before each paragraph, if this space is needed
to fill out a  page when using \normalbottom.   If the \paragraphskip is set
to "minus1pt", it  implies that up to 1 point  may be subtracted before each
 
paragraphs if needed to fill out a page when using \normalbottom.  Since the
leading is usually only 2 points more than the size of the type, the "minus"
value should not be more than 1 point.
    If you are  using \monospace, it  is best to specify  the units in blank
lines.  For example,
 
\paragraphskip{1\bl}
 
There are 6 \bl in an inch with \monospace.
