According to the manual (11.3 Literal examples) :

    For simplicity when using small examples, you can also start the
    example lines with a colon followed by a space. There may also be
    additional whitespace before the colon
    
This means indent function shouldn't remove the spaces you inserted at
the beginning of the line. I guess it allows examples to stand out this
way.

Regards,
