There are lots of ways to do this; but one of the simplest is to
use a wikistyle.  For example, define an "in" style with:

    %define=in padding-left=40px%

and then put %in% in front of any paragraph that needs its first
line indented:

    %in% Here is a paragraph with its its first text line indented.
    Later lines are at the normal margin.

It can also be done with some custom CSS settings or custom markup,
and a site administrator can predefine the %in% wikistyle in 
the local config.php file.  Let me know if you're interested in
any of these.

Lastly, if we can come up with a good markup for "paragraph indent"
I'm not opposed to adding it to the distribution.
