Subject: [css-d] css to control indent

This looked like such a simple problem, but none of my experiments have
worked. On my credits page, I want any long text after the em dash that
wraps to restart below and at that point where the text string begins
after the em dash. Seems like I'm overlooking an obvious solution?

Keith,
One method would be to use two divs, both floated left.
The first div holds the artist's name and the em dash.
The second div is the credit. If the credit is too long, it wraps and starts 
where you want it to be, precisely below the first letter of the start of the 
credit.
It may be harder to input your data, but it should work.
With styling turned off, I believe that the credit would appear below the 
artist's name. Not exactly what you would want, but it might be okay.

That's my thought, but I do hope that someone has a better way to do it.
