I agree. Ok let me say it differently then :)
There NO wiki syntax for indentation and I'm strongly -1 to introduce
a syntax for it right now.
Note that this doesn't change anything of what I'm doing. I mentioned
it simply because this is what most people will use for indentation...
and that it'll be the simplest way to do it. The other way will be:
{{html}}
<span style="...">
</span>
{{/html}}
Thanks
