Fair enough. Might be nice to stick line in the 'with-html-output 
description like: "Note: indentation will change the behavior of certain 
HTML tags,  such as <pre>, <textarea> and possibly others. "

Also, the word "indented" is misspelled in the sentence: "However, if 
|/indent/| is /true/ line breaks will be inserted and nested tags will 
be intended properly. " in the same paragraph.
