I have a bullet point list that I think would look a lot better if I could indent the second line of some of the points. This really shouldn't be hard, but I can't seem to manage. I've tried \hspace
and a few other things. Any suggestions?
\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
\begin{list}{\labelitemi}{\leftmargin=1em}
\item \texttt{type} --- ablah bblah cblah \\
this line should start right under ``ablah'' above
\end{list}
\end{document}

. The command\phantom
does this. Thus we get the following code:
