    Semantically, lists are nicer.

    Compare this is your org file.

    * A very long item which you'd like to split over several lines A very = long item which you'd like to split over several lines A very long item= which you'd like to split over several lines A very long item which yo= u'd like to split over several lines

    =C2=A0 - A very long item which you'd like to split over several lines = A very
    =C2=A0 =C2=A0 long item which you'd like to split over several lines A = very long
    =C2=A0 =C2=A0 item which you'd like to split over several lines A very = long item
    =C2=A0 =C2=A0 which you'd like to split over several lines


    Which one do you prefer?
