[thelist] how to set text-flow in css

[Richard Bennett]

Hi,
I'm stuck with something that should be simple, yet isn't:

I have this:

* hello this is
some long text.

and I'd like this:

* hello this is
  some long text.

In a table it would look like this:
<table><tr><td valign="top">* </td><td>hello this is some long
text.</td></tr></table>

Any idea how to do this with css?

Cheers,
Richard.
