Indenting lines in each paragraph except the first one using global command

Question

I want to indent lines in each paragraph except the first one.

By paragraph, I mean a group of lines that are separated from other groups of lines by at least one blank line.

For example, here we have three paragraphs:

paragraph1
line1.1

paragraph2
line2.1
line2.2

paragraph3

I want to indent all the lines except the first one in each paragraph. To do this, I use the following command:

g/^\w\+/+1,/^\s*$/>

The problem is that this command indents every line progressively. The result is as here:

paragraph1
    line1.1

paragraph2
    line2.1
        line2.2

paragraph3

line2.2 is indented twice. I guess this occurs because global command matches all lines first with the regex ^\w\+, then it applies the command +1,/^\s*$/>.

How can I produce the following output?

paragraph1
    line1.1

paragraph2
    line2.1
    line2.2

paragraph3

Answer 1

If you don't mind the error message (of the the +1 going past the last line), just doing

:g/^\w/ +>

works. Since the pattern for :global matches all the lines below paragraph2 anyway, there is no need to give range to :> at all (besides the +1 to skip the first).
