I think that's Phil's point. The code he is cutting and pasting in is
no doubt already indented. However, what it probably has is either:
* no initial indentation (start <tab> or <space>)
* that indential probably is a <tab> rather than <space><space>
I love dokuwiki for documentation, but it is a right ballache to find
that when you cut and paste in your configuration snippet I *then* have
to go through <space><space><home><down-cursor><goto 10> before it is
usable.
Sure it seems not a biggy, but it is a right turnoff and makes us all
less inclinded to put in the effort.

That would be pretty schweet. I would not 'pre-process' the text, I
would make sure those <pre>/{{{/whatever remains intact so you do not
suffer indentation pain when editing existing content.
