Exactly. Now I only need to add that my motivation for wanting this markup
is partly that it looks 'pretty', and partly because that's how I find
that I already write my emails etc. (Just look in the mail archive at
some of my old posts).
I guess a valid question here is if other people also write like this?
If not, how do you write lists? Without indentation for the following
lines?
