When the markup eventually exists, it's probably best if it's not
documented on the website for a while because it won't be a part of
the PmWiki distribution--we'll just use it within the mailing list.

There's not a way to indent a heading in the markup.  This is actually
built-in to the design of HTML, not PmWiki.  The normal way to indent
headings is to do so in the stylesheet

   h2 { margin-left:80px; }

We do this all the time in the documentation with [=...=] spanning
multiple lines.  Just do

   [=
   program code goes here
   =]

Be sure the line containing the first [= begins with spaces.  This feature
is documented in PmWiki.TextFormattingRules in the "Escape sequence" section.
However, it probably also belongs in the FAQ.
