Nicolas, thank you for explaining.
Well, it still bugs me.
Many times I start with something like
**** headline
item1
Text belonging to item1
Text belonging to item1
Text belonging to item1
item2
Text belonging to item2
Text belonging to item2
Text belonging to item2
and then later want to bring in more structure,
making item1 and item2 a list item.
I would then expect to get the "Text belonging to" lines being indented as in
**** headline
- item1
Text belonging to item1
Text belonging to item1
Text belonging to item1
- item2
Text belonging to item2
Text belonging to item2
Text belonging to item2
but I get this:
**** headline
- item1
Text belonging to item1
Text belonging to item1
Text belonging to item1
- item2
Text belonging to item2
Text belonging to item2
Text belonging to item2
of course I can indent via macros or manually, I just don't find the behaviour ok.
Regards,
-- Rainer
