I guess you don't want to know about something I can only call a "negative
indent," where the text of the bullet (or numbered) items lines up with the
standard paragraph indent, but the bullet (or number) appears in the margin.
My wife wrote a manual where this was part of the standard template. Some
art director's idea of snazzy page layout, I suppose.
