2. Some existing documents will break because we now need an end-of-list that is clearly defined, and not by indentation. Nicolas proposes adouble empty line or some special string to be defined. Breaking existingdocuments is always bad, of cause. I still hope we can do something about this if we think really hard, like making text that is less indented than the list *also* terminate a list.
+1Ending lists by indentation most closely resembles how one would end a list in ordinary typed prose (with a single blank line before a following paragraph, not two, certainly not with an end-of-list symbol). Since Org is currently capable of understanding this "natural" syntax, the change would be a real step backwards.
Speaking for myself I know it would break a *lot* of my stuff.Otherwise, Nicolas Goaziou's changes look nice. I hope a way can be found to have it both ways.
