Text that is indented is rendered in a dashed box despite no such hint in the user guide. It doesn't even contain all the text in many cases.
Putting spaces at the beginning of a line produces 'preformatted' text (the HTML <pre> tag). This sets the text to a monospace font so each column is the same width, doesn't wrap long lines, and faithfully reproduces every space and line break as you wrote it.
This, of course, supplies one way of indenting text, but will probably do more than you want (even if you override the dotted-border CSS rule). The wiki-syntax to indent a line is actually to put a : in front of it. This currently produces some rather awkward HTML, but has the effect of doing nothing but indenting the line.
