That would be the latter - changing the source code.  (Someone else asked
about this recently, so it was on my to-do list to check).  The indents
are coming from a table in src/DefaultStyle.c, e.g.,

static HTStyle HTStyleNormal =
{
    0, "Normal", ST_Normal, "P",
    HT_FONT, 1, HT_BLACK, 0, 0,
    3, 3, 6, HT_LEFT, 1, 0, tabs_8,
    YES, YES, 1, 0, 0};
};

The two "3"'s in the third line of the data are the first- and 
left-indents for the given tag ("normal" in this case).  And the "6"
is the right-margin.

If one simply wants to cancel the indents, a good place to do this would
be in the DefaultStyle() function at the end of that file, since it 
constructs a copy of the table; the copy could be modified as it is 
constructed.
