The <ul></ul> tags are what is responsible for indentation among list
items.  So, you'd need to wrap the <ul> tag around any <li> tags in order
to get the inner indentation that you're looking for.  Of course, they'll
also cause a space before and after the list itself, which may have been
what you were trying to avoid.

If that is true, then you have to choose:  Use <ul> and accept the space;
Don't use <ul> and accept the out-dentation; create nested tables and a
bullet graphic to force the issue.

There might be a fourth option, to use CSS and somehow make your magic
work, but that one is beyond me.
