Dye" Interesting. Just as a brainstorm, I wonder if there is a block that could achieve the same effect? Or, perhaps, if indentation that looks like the following could be handled automatically? - item - subitem this is stuff pasted flush left. we know that it is a body because there is no blank line between subitem and "this is stuff". this is another paragraph of the body we know that it is still part of the body because it is followed by a subitem and there is no blank line after it. this is a little kludgey and maybe there is a better solution. - this is another subitem that terminates the plain list item above. Perhaps this was already considered?
