Namely, I was wondering if it would be possible to add an option whereby 2 empty lines would terminate a plain list. My rationale is as follows: I very much like to set org-blank-before-new-entry to auto for plain lists. The extra line in the org source increases legibility, and I can have single-spaced or double-spaced lists depending on my mood. :) But I also like the ability to determine where a plain list should end. For instance, if I have a table that directly follows a list item, the table is currently folded into the list in the exported html unless org-empty-line-terminates-plain-lists is set to t. (But, of course, if I set the latter variable to t, then any list containing a blank line is not exported correctly.) Right now org-blank-before-new-entry and org-empty-line-terminates-plain-lists are mutually exclusive. By adding the option of two lines terminating a plain list, would it perhaps be possible to enjoy the functionality of both at the same time? Thanks in advance for considering this. And feel free to tell me if this is a ridiculously fussy request. :) Matt
