# Prawn strips all whitespace from the beginning and the end of strings so there
# are two ways to indent paragraphs:
#
# One is to use non-breaking spaces which Prawn won't strip. One shortcut to
# using them is the <code>Prawn::Text::NBSP</code>.
#
# The other is to use the <code>:indent_paragraphs</code> option with the text
# methods. Just pass a number with the space to indent the first line in each
# paragraph.
