I mean like this.  This is how TAB works while typing, it just bumps text
over to the next tab stop and doesn't effect the rest of the lines.

This is most like a blockquote - the conventional way to handle them in
text is to indent the entire quote.

Definitely not.  That would reduce its usefulness next to nil.
