Why does indentation immediately after a section heading not work?
When I start a section and attempt to indent the first paragraph with \indent, the command has no effect:
\document
class{article}
\begin{document}
\section{Section 1}
\indent Paragraph 1. % not indented
\noindent Paragraph 2.
\section{Section 2}
\leavevmode\indent Paragraph 1. % indented
\noindent Paragraph 2.
\end{document}
I found that \leavevmode solves the problem, but why is this happening in the first place?
