Any way to do a hanging indent?

[Mr. Analogy]

I know you can do bulleted list to get:

* here is my list
and it wraps neatly

* and here is wraps
again.


Is there any way to get:

Here is my heading - description of that heading that
wraps nicely like this.

Another exampe - here we are wrapping
something again.

I've done it with tables. But I was hoping there might be a more
elegant way to do it.
