IMO doing so by requiring a blank line (at least optionally) before lists would allow that variable to be safer. IMO it is a lot to expect of users if they paste large documents (or even capture them as part of org-protocol or something), and there are plenty of filling edge cases, such as illustrated in the recent thread about filling with > and filladapt, where you'd have to either check manually every time you fill or actually hack the filling code to understand list syntax. Just my opinion, though. Samuel -- The Kafka Pandemic: http://thekafkapandemic.blogspot.com The disease DOES progress. MANY people have died from it. ANYBODY can get it.
