Replace this:

PHP Code:


			
 echo " "." $paragraph";

With this:

PHP Code:


			
print nl2br($paragraph);

The preceding whitespace isn't necessary in your original output. To give it the "indented" look, modify the .paragraph CSS code and add a text-ident: {x}px with whatever your preferred indent choice is (1em may be a good option).
