Hi,
 I have a couple of questions about lists in org-mode and exporting to latex.
I have attached a example file that illustrates this behavior.
1) When I hit tab on the last item in a list, everything until the next heading
is folded under that item. Is this expected behavior, and is there a way to turn
it off?
2) If I hit TAB after a blank line following a list, the indentation is such
that the new list (List 3 in the file below) exports as a sublist of the
preceding list. Is there a simple way to mark the end of the list?
Thanks for your help in answering thes questions.

(setq org-cycle-include-plain-lists nil) maybe?

Lists are defined by their indentation.  There is no way to mark the end
of a list explicitly as far as I know.  Just don't indent the content so
that it is part of the list anymore.

In your examples 'List 1', 'List 2', and 'List 3' are not actually part
of your list.  The list is defined by the items alone.

'List 3' is the body part of List 2 Item 2 and Item 2 has a sublist
(your List 3) since it is indented.  Define your list items and use
S-right and S-left to define the hierarchy appropriately - then fill
in body details appropriately indented.

Thanks. That works.

I will make sure to indent appropriately. It is just that I am importing some
files into org-mode and was trying to use the indent-region command.
Thanks again.
