Message-ID: <20070318232622.76f83afb@newmanfamily.me.uk> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <c79c06375cd2f7111c9a748522b49669@science.uva.nl>

The manual (section 2.8) says

"Indentation also determines the end of a list item.  It ends before the next line that is indented like the bullet/number, or less."

I think that a blank line has 0 indentation, therefore (by this logic)
it should end a list item.  Clearly a blank line cannot start a list
item, so it must end a list.

I think the question is whether list items can contain blank lines. 
This may be established practice, but it was not what I was expecting.

Thanks

Mike
