Another dirty, not-recommended, but functional option
is to use the tag <dd> before the line you want indented.
Most browsers know what to do with this and display it
consistently, and the ones that don't tend to at worst
ignore it. You do have to use it for every line, and to
have a line break before it. I have a lot of examples of
this. If you would like to test it with various viewers
before committing, ask me for the URL.
