Yeah, I consider that more than fine enough.

The subsequent lines get indented differently than the first, but it's
consistent. That can be fixed a number of ways, not the least of which
is having the source generate indentations that align all the text,
rather than trying to indent to match the label, e.g.:
a. one two three...
four five six...
seven eight nine
