+Continuation lines are given extra indentation.  If a line is a
+continuation line by virtue of being in an unclosed paren/bracket/
+brace structure, it's indented to line up with the first non-whitespace
+and non-comment character following the opening paren/bracket/brace
+of the smallest such enclosing structure.  If no such character exists,
+it's indented to one column beyond the opening paren/bracket/brace.

+If a line is a continuation line because the line preceding it ends with

+inherit their indentation from the line preceding them, while the second
+line in the block is indented to one column beyond the first chunk of
+non-whitespace characters in the block's initial line.

 Warning:  indent-region should not normally be used!  It calls \\[indent-for-tab-command]
 repeatedly, and as explained above, \\[indent-for-tab-command] can't guess the block
 structure you intend.
