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.
