Description

Motivation There is no easy way to have indented line breaks.

Description I do not want to have to horizontally scroll when my code is too long and want to wrap it to the next line. However when I do this like https://github.com/PrismJS/prism/issues/1237 the line wraps over to the next line without any indents. I want to wrap the line over with indenting like in many code editors (like vs code press Alt + Z https://stackoverflow.com/questions/31025502/how-can-i-switch-word-wrap-on-and-off-in-visual-studio-code) .

Research direction
The issue requests indentation for wrapped lines in code blocks. To implement, investigate PrismJS's existing CSS for line wrapping (likely in themes or basic structure). Consider using CSS text indent property or adding a new class. Check any existing PRs or comments for prior attempts. The solution should only affect wrapped lines and not break existing formatting.
