aligning text level of text and parbox where text is wrapped

Question

I would like this:

With the Tex code at the bottom I obtain this:

Tex code:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\begin{document}
Text1  &gt; \parbox{0.8\textwidth}{bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla}
\end{document}

I need some assistance, with a task which should be trivial, namely to have "Text1" and "bla bla bla [...]" to begin in the same line level.

NB. I already used a lot of time to figure out the parbox could wrap the text in the "tab-enviroment" - even though this should also be relatively simple.

try \parbox[t]{0.8\textwidth}{...} (observe [t]) – Zarko Feb 04 '21 at 18:04 — Zarko, Feb 04 '21 at 18:04
Thank you, this was the quickfix I needed. – User123456789 Feb 04 '21 at 18:53 — User123456789, Feb 04 '21 at 18:53

Anchor the \parbox at the [t]op:

\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
Text1  &gt; \parbox{0.8\textwidth}{\strut bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla\strut}
Text1  &gt; \parbox[t]{0.8\textwidth}{\strut bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla\strut}
\end{document}

Adding a \strut to the start/end of a \parbox ensures proper alignment with the baselines for surrounding structures.

Thanks, this was the solution I was seeking. – User123456789 Feb 04 '21 at 18:54 — User123456789, Feb 04 '21 at 18:54
