--- Comment #2 from William Friedman <[email protected]> ---
My apologies for not being clearer. The issue is not the indent of the first
line, but the indent of *subsequent* lines. I am requesting an option for each
entry of a list to be lined up with the first line of the entry. Here is a
visual schematic:

1. alsdjflsjfdlajsfljsdfsa
   alksjdflsakjflasj
2. a;lkfdsjsa;ljf
   a;lsjd;lasjfda
...
10. a;lskdjf;lsajf
    a;lsjdf;lasjf;lasj

With the current options, there is no way to create a list that is lined up in
this way. Either the first line of an entry is separated from the number (+
subsequent characters, here a period) by a space, and any subsequent lines of
the entry are not indented at all (and hence lined up under the entry number)
OR subsequent lines are indented to a fixed tab stop, which means: 1) having to
guess where the number (+ subsequent characters + space) will be and manually
inserting a tab stop at that point AND 2) that text can only be lined up under
either single-digit, double-digit, OR triple-digit numbers (because you have to
manually choose the indent of subsequent lines).

I hope the request is clearer. If not, please let me know what remains unclear
and I will try to rephrase.
