I’m having another issue guys…lol

Say i have a format that looks like the following:  
\*\*  
checkbox - date | headline to a story\*\*

now if the headline is too long the text will wrap to the next line, however right now it is wrapping under the checkbox, how would i get it to start wrapping under the first character of the headline story so it looks like this:

checkbox - date | headline to a story…  
(if the headline is too long it will start here, as opposed to under the checkbox).

Right now i have all this under one text class, ie:

```auto
<p class="text1">
**checkbox - date | headline to a story
**** checkbox - date | headline to a story
**** checkbox - date | headline to a story
**** checkbox - date | headline to a story
**</p>

```

Thanks.
