By a comprehensive quotation, you indicate lack of comprehensive reading.

If you want help from the public, you need to give the public a working
chance to help you. Minimally this includes the small trouble of uploading
your demo page onto a web server.

I'd suggest learning how to use normal mixed case and normal punctuation in
simple texts before trying to get any further in the path of authoring.

The question is still obscure, but it sounds like you would actually want to
have the first line in a list item indented more than the other lines. This
would be e.g.
ul { list-style-type: none; }
li { text-indent: 1em; }
(without considering the overall left margins of the <li> and <ul> elements,
which are a distinct and easily manageable issue)
or - perhaps somewhat clumsier but possibly more robustly (browsers have
some bugs with text-indent in printing) - with the second rule replaced by
li:first-letter { padding-left: 1em; }
