Thanks — the padding attribute certainly solves the problem of the bullet spacing. How interesting. Either I've simply missed obvious parts of the discussions I've read up to now, or it hasn't come up in them. The bullet size and overall left indent are still uncontrolled (unless there are yet other CSS commands for them that I've missed in sundry discussions).

The test actually looked like this:

Code:

dt.bullet {
  float:left;
  font-family:sans-serif;
  color:gray;
  margin-left:0;
}
dd.bullet-text {
  margin-left:1.75em; <!-- adjust as need be -->
  margin-bottom:0.4em; <!-- likewise -->
}

The "bullet" character — I have been trying a single lower-case "O" ("oh," not zero). It isn't quite what I'm after but looks better to me than the tiny bullet provided by "<ul>". I'd prefer a thinner open disk but haven't found just what I'm after yet, at least as an HTML entity.
