Indentation has to be consistent. likely the for line is indented with
spaces and the next line with a tab. You can use tabs and spaces, but
you have to be consistent with how you use them. IE if level 1 is
indented with spaces, then level 2 has to be indented with spaces up to
level 1 as well. Hope that makes sense.
