title: LaTeX - Description list - Split the item across multiple lines
body: <p>I have the following LaTeX file. Notice how the item on the description is very long <code>...foo...</code>.</p>
  
  <pre><code>\documentclass{article}
  \begin{document}
  \begin{description}
  
  \item[foo foo foo foo foo foo foo foo foo foo foo foo foo foo foo foo foo foo foo foo foo foo foo foo foo foo foo foo foo foo]
  bar
  
  \item[baz]
  bang
  
  \end{description}
  \end{document}
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>It produces a file like this:
  <img src="https://i.imgur.com/fZQLl.png" /></p>
  
  <p>The <code>foo</code> is all on one line and will run off the edge. Is there anyway to split the description part across multiple lines so it doesn't run off the edge of the page? I want to be able to do this only in the preamble, since I can't edit the actual body of the document.</p>
