Yes. Keep an empty line inserted between paragraphs and lists. The correct way to format such text is (as testified for example by reST): First some initial text which is a description of the list that follows the text: - item 1 - item 2 - item 3 - item 4 > One solution is to mark the text which is the description, before giving > M-q, but I would prefer a solution where this is not necessary. ;-} -- __Pascal Bourguignon__ http://www.informatimago.com
