How can the description environment be made to indent when nested? Label: Here is the main item in a description envrionment Label: Here is one nested and indented. The lines are very long to make a paragraph. Label: Yep one more. Label: and even one more level down in the description environment. Label: Back to the top. This would be the the report style using LateX 2.09. Thank you for your attention!

This should automatically happen. Here is an example that does
exactly what you want.
\documentstyle [12pt] {report}
\begin{document}
\begin{description}
\item[Label:]Here is the main item in a description envrionment
\begin{description}
\item[Label:]Here is one nested and indented. The lines are
very long to make a paragraph.
\item[Label:]Yep one more.
\begin{description}
\item[Label:] and even one more level down in the
description environment.
\end{description}
\end{description}
\item[Label:]Back to the top.
\end{description}
\end{document}
