Thanks for sharing the idea to use lists and thanks for using org-mode
in a similar way like me ... that let me feel not to bad by abusing
org-mode for my strange needs ;) . However, as you said it is rather the
same problem with lists. Subsequent paragraphs always belongs to the
last list or outline.
As far as I understood org-mode I could maybe use drawers to achieve
something similar to what I want. However, I wonder if there is a more
easy method esp. in way of typing, rather then wrapping a start and end
command around the "inline"-paragraph. For my day-to-day use I always
try to make it as easy as possible otherwise I might be to "lazy" to use it.
Thanks again for sharing your idea.
Torsten
