BXjaprnind Package

LaTeX: To adjust the position of parentheses at paragraph head

In Japanese typesetting, opening parentheses placed at the beginning of paragraphs or lines are treated specially; for example, while the paragraph indent before normal kanji characters is 1em, the indent before parentheses can be 0.5em, 1em or 1.5em deoending on the local rule in effect.

This package allows users to specify the amount of indent just before Japanese parentheses placed at paragraph/line head.
