Have you seen
http://dev.plone.org/plone/ticket/2776

It suggests to use a negative 'text-indent' together with
appropriate 'margin-left' settings.

Not sure this is what you are after but maybe it is ...

the problem is that conventional css approaches to indenting second
lines fail, because at sufficient nesting depths they cause the
open/close toggle glyph (the triangle) to be covered by the leading
line.  i haven't found a way, using just css on the <span> enclosing the
title, to get around that.

the easy fix is to enclose the title in a
<table><tr><td>...<table><tr><td>.  actually, i need to use <table
style="border-spacing: 0px">... to get rid of extraneous spacing imposed
by user-agent stylesheets.  i'm far from certain this is the best way to
do it, or even an acceptible one.  for quick and dirty, though, it works
like a charm.

what's the right way to do this?  (and why do people tolerate the ragged
right margin, as is?  do people just not use collective.portlet.explore?
  or always use very short titles?)

i should add that my time for attention to this is extremely limited -
i'm just trying to make the thing useful, in a centrally maintainable way.
