There are already many similar questions, unfortunately mine is slightly different. I'd like to indent between the item marker (number, bullet...) and the text. This is easily done with e.g. \item \hspace{3mm}...only that if the line breaks, it doesn't align with the rest above it. (I do have enumitem loaded, if that helps. For normal text \adjustwidth should do the trick, right?) Abusing code formatting:
Not so good
* bla
* blablablablablablablabla
blablablablablablablablabla
Better
* bla
* blablablablablablablabla
blablablablablablablabla
