I’m a CS6 so I can’t play with borders/paragraphs shading, but here’s an idea:

First, as stated by Dieter, you need to use the underlining feature.
Please note that you can set it up in your paragraph style directly by the way.

2 problems:

– When your paragraph ends, you need to add an extra space after the last character in order to avoid underlining to stop right after it. Just like in your example : after “quat”. (NB: you still can’t guarantee perfect consistency: see C&J)

– The main problem: left indent. As you said, it’s a long time lurker than underlining doesn’t allow left/right indentation.
So I was thinking: what about adding a black left-border shading in your paragraph style? Can’t test it but… give it a try and tell us.
So far, my CS6 solution was to put my text into a cell and add a left-border to it…

Edit: ah… couldn’t embed the imgur… how did you do that?
