The following is in answer to a member question about creating lists in posts. Note the ul, ol, and [ * ] items in the "Editor" menu, shown above in the full edit window.
The question as asked was also about indenting text, but I see that was used for for creating Lists... so here are several types of lists.... I couldn't get the code examples as described in the alt text / tool tips in the Editor menu to work quite as shown there, but here's my best approximation, with the BBS code view followed by how that code will appear when published.
There are apparently several ways to do things, but this is what I could get to work.
Note that part of your question was simply about indenting text, and you can do that, I see, simply by using [ ul ] unordered list tags, but not delineating list items with [ li ] or with [ * ]. From what I could see, this would give indented text, but w/o list markers. Not that these indents probably don't line-wrap and preserve indention for the full paragraph, such as one could produce, say, in Word with full paragraph formatting, but that's a limitation of BBS code.
Hope this helps get you started... There is a HELP link somewhere to the set of BBS code that we use on the forums.
Playing with lists... ----------
UL li - CODE [ul][li]testing 1
[li]testing 2
[li]testing 3[/ul]
UL - display w/ li markers - testing 1
- testing 2
- testing 3
-----
* - CODE [ul][*]testing 1
[*]testing 2
[*]testing 3[/ul]
--
UL - display w/ * markers - testing 1
- testing 2
- testing 3

ORDERED LISTS OL - code [ol][li]testing 1
[li]testing 2
[li]testing 3[/ol]
---
OL - DISPLAY w/ li line markers - testing 1
