Yes, except correctly indented as well.

A more general system would be to allow control of wrap indentation:

	[   ] Indent soft wrapped lines to match parent
	Add n tabs to soft wrapped lines [ 2            ]
	[   ] Don't soft wrap, hard wrap

This would cover my style and Oliver Taylor's too, I think (apologies  
if I haven't understood).

 From an implementation point of view, the soft wrapping version  
implicitly knows about the blocks, they're still lines, it's just  
drawing them differently. With hard wraps, the only suggestion I have  
is a crappy one, infer the blocks from knowledge about how the user  
likes the wrapping done. E.g. if I say indent subsequent lines by 2  
tabs then everything 2 tabs from the line above in is a child. This  
only works if the indentation is 2 tabs or greater though, because 0  
tabs, 1 tab and negative values would result in the entire document  
becoming a false positive in most cases.

Hmm.
