Align the bullets with the prevailing margin. Indentation should have
hierarchical meaning, just like in code. If you are working with a
subordinate, indented body style, then observe the same indented margin.
Bullets can have subbullets, indented with respect to the higher-level
bullets.
Like this:
Body
Body
- Bullet
- Subbullet
- Subbullet
- Subsub
- Subsub
- Bullet
Body
Body
Indented
- Bullet
- Bullet
- Sub
- Sub
Body
The same standards apply to numbered, definition, and other lists.
