Nah.. seems too much of a hack.

Hmm... I'd thought that 'Q*:' was for the question to be included as an
unnumbered item, and 'Q#:' for it to be enumerated. *If* we want to
control this individually.

Oh.. maybe I should read all you write before answering.. guess I've just
agreed with this.

In this particular case I had lots of sections and I didn't want any
questions to make it into the list. OTOH, wiki.lyx.org would probably want
questions to be included in the TOC for at least the FAQ-group.
So the answer would be that I'd want questions (Q:) to be included on some
pages, but not on all.
