M-x org-indent-line RET on second line has no effect.
Org 9.5 changed the default value of org-adapt-indentation from t to
nil, as that seemed to be what a lot of users expect[1], so
org-indent-line should not indent the second line in Emacs 28 onward
unless configured otherwise:
- setting org-adapt-indentation back to t will make Org indent by
inserting whitespace;
- alternatively, enabling org-indent-mode will make Org "soft-indent"
with text properties.
[1] Org 9.4 made RET and C-j obey electric-indent-mode like they do in
most other major modes. Since org-adapt-indentation was t by
default, this led to many dismayed reports on emacs-orgmode that
"RET now messes up indentation", indicating that these users did not
expect their prose to be indented.
