This is more than just an observation - it is a massive understatement.
Relying on white space for any kind of markup (indents, list
components, or preformatted text) strikes me as one of the weakest
parts of PmWiki.
If PmWiki is truly to be author friendly, then it needs to have
markup that is clear and unambiguous. Aligning spaces is too hit-or-miss.
