.. code-block:: text where you manually indent the text is one option. If it is a file hierarchy, I like using tree to create the ASCII art diagram.

Nested lists are another. Note the rules for nesting.

Nested lists are possible, but be aware that they must be separated from the parent list items by blank lines:

If you don't care for the bullets, you could use CSS to remove them.
