Use this example for the importance on this detail:

<div>Lorem ipsum <strong>dolor sit amet</strong>.

with this css:

div {
   text-indent: 10%;
}

Then the part “dolor sit amet” will be double intended because of the parent delaration. I’ve looked for hours for a display bug on my app and i hope i can save someone others time.

For example, let’s say I have a <div> that contains a bullet point line that exceeds the length of the div. I use a hanging indent to align the subsequent lines with the beginning of the actual text on the first line, leaving the bullet sticking out in front. So far so good. Now suppose that bullet point line has some child lines (each line is in its own <div>) that should properly be indented past the bullet line text. I can simply use the text-indent property which is fine unless this child line exceeds the width of the div. in this case the subsequent lines will align with the actual bullet out in front of all the other text. Any suggestions to handle this situation are appreciated.
