This is a paragraph of preformatted text.

               15 spaces from the left margin.


                         This paragraph is indented 25 spaces from 
                         the left margin. It has 3 blank lines above 
                         it and three blank lines below it.

like the first.

With list tags

This paragraph is indented because it is within a single pair of list tags. It is not formatted as a list item, because it does not begin with a list-item tag.

This paragraph is also indented because it is within the first pair of list tags.

This paragraph is even further indented because it is within the second pair of list tags.
