Hi Norbert,
The indentation issue is a complex and, since ten years, I still did not find
the time to handle these things correctly: e.g. using the PARA tag,
which indicates a paragraph unit (no indentation) instead of a paragraph
(indentation).
Some environements are usually included in paragraph units: equation, eqnarray*,
itemize, etc., whereas others are not: theorem, big-figure, etc.
This explains the difference in the behaviour you noticed.
Of course, the default decision may not always be the right one:
a list environment might correspond to an entire paragraph.
In that case, you currently have the possible to use no-indent and yes-indent.
Best wishes, Joris
