Thanks Dimitre for this approach which certainly is more comprehendible
than my original. I can't rely on the number of spaces per indentation
level being consistent, I can only rely on each indentation level having
the same number of spaces. I have made an attempt to adapt your code to
cover that (see below).

Hi Grainne,
It seems to me that the following solution is simpler. It uses a
recursively called named template to generate the descriptions, and
also the fact that the indent for every next level is 3:
