Broken left edge

Forbidden
An icon sitting to the left of a heading while the body text below starts further left, so the text block has two left edges
Instead
Keep one straight left edge down a block of related text. The eye returns to that edge on every line and every jump; breaking it costs a small amount of work on each one. Where an icon sits beside text, align the *text* edges and let the icon hang outside, or put the icon above.
