  Indents of lines will literally be treated as such, be it  a number of
sapces or tabs (inserted perhaps by pasting into the text box, as you
cannot add a tab in a textarea input control).

  They will not be treated as pre-formatted unwrapped text.

Subsequent lines will be treated as part of the paragraph,
till an empty line occurs.

I put up a demo test page on my site here (editing locked)
where you can see some effects of the script:
