Its too close to a headline. It is also unusable if one chooses not to use indentation for the text under a headline (e.g. below). I often prefer this as deeply nested (say, level 4) headlines often start to run out of columns due to wrapping. ** Heading Some list * list item 1 * list item 2 > Or > > Is it that more varieties of bullets is needed for creating "rich" > deeply nested lists so that each level of the list can take on a > different bullet for better differentiation. This is pretty much the reason I switch list types. Something like: 1) some broad point + Case 1 - comment on something of note + Case 2 2) another broad point That said, I would probably use the customize option. -- Suvayu Open source is the future.
