[docbook] Any way to do an indented ("prose") paragraph?

["Scot W. Stevenson" <scot at possum dot in-berlin dot de>]

Hello there, 

I'm trying to find a way to mark a paragraph so that the first (and only the 
first) line is indented, like you see in normal prose. For example: 

    "Now!" cried Gimli. "Stop him, Legolas!"
    "Did I not say that I wished to speak to you?" said the old man. "Put 
away that bow, Master Elf!"
    The bow and arrow fell from Legolas' hands...

Each paragraph has a tab in the first line, though the paragraph can have 
more than one line. This can't be a new problem, but I can't seem to find it 
in the FAQ or the online documentation at www.docbook.org . 

I'm assuming that there might be a "role" parameter for the <para> marker; 
but I can't seem to find  a list of those, either (I found out only by 
reading some other code that there is a role for "bold" in <emphasis>). Is 
there some place where the roles are listed?

Thank you for your help, and the people who created DocBook for a lot of 
great work.

Y, Scot
