Hi!

I am studying in org mode, I love it, I prefer it over some university 
books which have poor typography.


But when it comes to displaying each paragraph, I perceive it like very 
difficult: filling, unfilling, wrapping, adaptive wrapping, indent... 
and it seems that emacs and org-mode have their own functions.


Is there a way to mastering paragraphs displaying?


What I would like to achieve is to display unfilled paragraphs in 
org-mode, with the first line indented, and hyphenation at the end of 
the lines. Could this be done just using the functions in emacs?

Best regards

Well. This is what we usually have in Emacs. Multiple approaches to the
same or similar problem. Choose what you prefer.

The basics are described in 8.8 Continuation Lines section of Emacs
manual and the links from that section.

1. First line indentation: Check out adaptive-wrap package and its
   adaptive-wrap-extra-indent customization.
2. Hypenation: You can check line wrapping/truncation in the Emacs
   manual. If you do not have word-wrap set to non-nil (it is not, by
   default), the words will be wrapped in the middle. The indicator at
   the boundary is usually not hyphen, but can be customized via
   fringe-indicator-alist.

Hope it helps.
