Edd ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Eddward DeVilla Date: Mar 18, 2007 10:04 PM Subject: Re: [Orgmode] Feature in org-move-item-down To: Mike Newman I sometimes have blank lines in list items. I have lists do visibility cycling like headings and use them as light weight headings. One thing I've found is that empty lines seem to be after an item and not a part. Blank lines, with whitespace characters in them seem to be a part of the item. I use it and tend to like it. I need to turn on a setting to make such blank but not empty lines a little easier to spot. If the behavior would change, I'd probably need to change how I do thing and maybe use heading more.
