[Idiom] Synonyms for "as follows"

[cavang]

Hello everyone,

I frequently use the phrase "as follows" at the end of a paragraph to somehow open the next paragraph.
For example:
----------------------------------------------------
[First paragraph]...We detail this idea as follows.

[Next paragraph] First, we ...
----------------------------------------------------

Do we have any other phrases that can be used in this case?
I try "in the following", but that phase does not sound good to me because I should add a noun after "following" such as "in the following paragraph", "in the following example", etc.

I should add a noun after "following" such as "in the following paragraph"

My Oxford dictionary reads "The following is a summary of events", in which no noun is after "following".

Not a teacher.

There is a difference between "The following" (article + noun) and "In the following". Although it is possible to say "In the following, I will show you ...", it is much more likely that "following" would be considered an adjective and therefore would be followed by a noun, "In the following paragraph, I will show you".
