I looked into this a little bit and with the diff below, it starts to get close to make the docs indent the way DrRacket does, but it looks like getting closer is going to be complicated because of the way the layout is set up and, I guess, that the layout is set up that way because that's the best compromise with the html/pdf backed that's been found.
So I'm not really sure if the right thing is to try to lay out the table differently, or perhaps I'm missing something about the way the current things are set up that there is another simple tweak to do. In any case, the diff below makes the racket/draw canvas% docs's constructor line the first argument up under the "w" new "new", instead of under the "c" in "canvas%". The current setup seems to have the "new canvas%" all in a single cell in the canvas and judicious use of (hspace 1) doesn't seem to help.
