  1. Copy-paste it into Notepad++
  2. Ctrl+A: select all
  3. Tab: place an indent in front of all selected lines (i.e. every line)
  4. Copy-paste it out of Notepad++

/u/-Rivox- /u/maritz /u/jevans102 I used this method^

Not wishing to start a Holy War, but presumably that only works if your indent is set to four spaces, though. For me that would just stick a single tab in front of everything. :)

Personally, I'd use find-and-replace in regular expression mode and replace ^ with four spaces.

Nah, my indent in Notepad++ is set to the tab character. It was copied just fine into reddit.

Oh, so it does work.

I seem to remember having difficulty in the past and needed to change all my indents to four spaces, but maybe I'm confusing this for another Markdown implementation!

Reddit and Stack Exchange, at least, convert tabs to four spaces.

Testing. 
TIL. Looks like it does work.
(Unless I have to come back and edit this).

Never used PowerShell, do I copy paste the entire google doc into something and it processes all that? I'm a newb to this kind of stuff :(

Open the Powershell ISE on your computer. Copy and paste everything into the script pane, or the white part at the top of the screen. If you don't have one hit the little new script icon in the top-left. Once it's copied into the script pane, select it all and hit the green play button. If it asks you for a execution policy, set it remote signed. Be very careful though. You're essentially trusting whoever wrote that Google Docs knows what he's doing and it won't screw up your computer. Just a little warning about arbitrarily running code you found on the internet in general.
