Your text indenting is wrong #58

I've seen this 'error' being made all over and I always cringe. I've never had a place to air this out, so I don't know if this holds internationally-

In Denmark at least the way we make paragraphs and sub paragraphs does not follow the same conventions as you do it in the demo. When writing a 'main' paragraph that should never be indented. If we then want to make another paragraph that is slightly related but deserves some distinction from the paragraph before it ('sub paragraph') we would then indent that paragraph....

Seeing that this way of describing it might be very difficult to understand I've made this example instead. The bolding is just so that you will notice the english sentences. This is not something you would do in real text unless theres another reason for it. Had to add '____ ' instead of a tab char - github didn't like it any other way.

Main paragraph that talks about something. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat. Duis aute irure dolor in reprehenderit in voluptate velit esse cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur. Excepteur sint occaecat cupidatat non proident, sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt mollit anim id est laborum. ____ Sub paragraph then talks about a different aspect of that thing. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat. Duis aute irure dolor in reprehenderit in voluptate velit esse cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur. Excepteur sint occaecat cupidatat non proident, sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt mollit anim id est laborum.

New main paragraph talks about something different. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat. Duis aute irure dolor in reprehenderit in voluptate velit esse cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur. Excepteur sint occaecat cupidatat non proident, sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt mollit anim id est laborum.
