In this case, since there is no indentation at all for the table, it should terminate the list. The table would be considered part of "Item Two" if it is written in the following way ------------------------------------------------------------------------ - Item One - Item Two | Table cell | Another table cell | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ I ran into this little ambiguity problem when I was testing the DocBook exporter, but have not got chance to resolve this problem. Similar problem also exists for literal examples (and maybe other types of blocks): ------------------------------------------------------------------------ - Item One - Item Two : Some example from a text file : Another line in the example ------------------------------------------------------------------------ In this case, the literal example lines should be considered part of "Item Two". If the two spaces before ':' do not exist, this literal example will terminate the list. Is this reasonable? Baoqiu
