Thanks for sharing the idea to use lists and thanks for using org-mode in a similar way like me ... that let me feel not to bad by abusing org-mode for my strange needs ;) . However, as you said it is rather the same problem with lists. Subsequent paragraphs always belongs to the last list or outline. As far as I understood org-mode I could maybe use drawers to achieve something similar to what I want. However, I wonder if there is a more easy method esp. in way of typing, rather then wrapping a start and end command around the "inline"-paragraph. For my day-to-day use I always try to make it as easy as possible otherwise I might be to "lazy" to use it. Thanks again for sharing your idea. Torsten
