On which HTML browsers have you seen paragraph indentation? I don't recall
noticing such a thing occuring.
Are you talking about auto-indenting of something like:
<html>
<head>
<title>
Testing indentation
</title>
</head>
<body>
This is test one of paragraph indentation. Will the text in this paragraph
be automatically intented, or will it be flush left?
This is test two of paragraph indentation. Does the html browser
ignore the writer's explicit intentation, or does it acknowledge it.
<pre>
This is test three. What about paragraphs in pre-formatted
blocks? Are they left alone?
</pre>
</body>
</html>
Note that when _I_ read slashdot, using the latest released lynx and
my own build time and run time configure options, I see slashdot discussions
indented:

Sorry, but given the whole tense legal situation around the DeCSS
fiasco at the moment, what was he thinking about doing this? Yeah sure
it wasn't *real*, but anyone who thought about it for half a second
would have realised that this would cause him trouble, real or not.
The MPAA were quite right to ask for this page to be removed from
Oxford's servers. Until the court case in concluded one way or the
other this kind of publicity stunt detracts from what is going to be a
serious test case, and web pages like this are childish and in very
poor taste.
No for once I am in total agreement with the MPAA. This page should
have been pulled, and I'm glad it was.
