Ohhhhhhhhh.  Nice.  I tend to avoid match patterns like this probably
just out of habit but it's better advice then mine was.  Only one
question: shouldn't it be the ancestor axis and not preceding-sibing
or am I misreading the predicates?

ie something like
text()[ancestor::node()[1][self::indent1 or self::paragraph]

since the text node will be contained by the indent or the paragraph?
