This is hard to describe but I think the easiest way is to write out the TeX that I had hoped would work:
\begin{itemize}\item[some text \\ more text] Here is some content for the first bullet that will extend onto multiple lines. %\item[first line of bullet \\ second line of bullet] Here is some content for the second bullet that will extend onto multiple lines. \end{itemize}
Basically, I am using custom text for the bullets themselves, and I would like this text to break into two lines. If I used the code above, the bullets are forced into a single line.
Since the previous example doesn't actually stretch onto multiple lines, here is an example that will:
\begin{itemize}\item[some text \\ more text] Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Duis nec fringilla nisi. Nullam vel vehicula dolor, accumsan aliquam enim. Nunc arcu quam, tincidunt quis ullamcorper nec, malesuada a orci. Nam felis lectus, pulvinar id venenatis sed, ultrices ut elit. %\item[first line of bullet \\ second line of bullet] Cras iaculis dui in purus tincidunt, a imperdiet massa laoreet. Mauris vel pulvinar lacus. Integer pharetra neque at turpis pretium, eu pretium sapien lacinia. Etiam commodo urna lacus, non ullamcorper enim tincidunt at. \end{itemize}
