Thanks! Works beautifully now.

When I use a paragraph of text instead of plain list bullets, the
subsequent paragraph becomes the definition of the headline, which
becomes the list label. Is this correct?

I suppose I was expecting the headings to become itemized lists if
num:nil or enumerated lists if num:t. But I realize that's probably not
the most straightforward behavior. I think it's easier for me to use
bullet lists in the org source than to request a change. :)

You are right. I cannot reproduce this. I'm afraid it may have been due
to a typo. Sorry for the false alarm.

Again, thanks so much! This works beautifully and I've already used it
in a syllabus.

Thanks for considering this. I'll do some brainstorming and get back to you.
Best,
