I think it would be useful but not having it is definitely not a show stopper! It has come up as an issue for me recently because I have been managing the writing of a proposal with contributions from many authors and some of those authors like having multiple lists within other lists. It was when exporting a draft of the whole document that I realised that I was losing text, but I only noticed this because I lost a whole section which was several pages long! I think the key is not necessarily to support multiple sub-lists within an item but to *ensure* that no text is lost in export. I can see at a glance possibly whether text is formatted correctly but I cannot tell as easily that text has been lost in export. When working on a 30+ page document, this is crucial. =20 =46rom your previous message, it sounds like you have a fix for the lost text issue; that would be the main improvement for my usage. > > I do this all the time in latex and I was sure that I had done this > > before in org.
