just because _you_ can't "see" the markup,
lee, doesn't mean that it isn't there...

one or more leading-spaces in a line is a signal that
the line should not be wrapped to the line above it...

as you are someone who worked on "tidy", i'd have
expected that you'd be familiar with this convention,
since -- to the best of my knowledge -- tidy uses it...

there _are_ difficult cases.  but the ones wally gave
are straightforward applications of dirt-simple rules...
