Web Design Style
I am in a descusion about what works and what doesn't and it concerns to indent or not to indent. For example.
Official sources said the Western-backed government of Prime Minister Fouad Siniora would now send the draft back to New York and wait for the final text on the special court to return.

What should be used on websites? I like to not indent because I think it reads better, but another person likes to indent. This would be applied through out the website and your feed back would be appreciated.
Thank you

I guess that depends on what you mean by 'what works and what doesn't'. It's really just a stylistic choice. Personally, I don't indent.

Let me put it this way, what is the industry standard for creating web pages. Indenting or not indenting?

Not indenting is far more common, though I wouldn't necessarily call it a standard. I know some people think of it as one. Then again, others think that indenting is an enhancement (when large blocks of text are used, anyway).

Providing a link to the web standards org is fine, but how does it answer the question? Can you provide a link to the section of the site that specifies whether indenting or not is industry standard?

Well am I completely incorrect if I say that:
If W3C does not cover any standard for code indent it means that there is no standard and at the moment and code indent is just convention for writing a code?
However, if some company hires you to write code for them I believe that you quickly realise that indent the code is standard for company that you are working for. :-)
Also for example there are some rules such as that you should not indent code with a space but with TABS and so on..
Nevertheless I would say that code indent style is more convention than it is a standard. And this should be the same for all 3-4th level languages not just for languages connected to WWW.

How do I open this question up then if W3C doesn't have the answer?

Also, remember I am not talking about the code but the web page it self. Maybe I asked the question in the wrong place if and if so my fault and sorry for the mess up.
