Re: Lout-users Digest, Vol 48, Issue 5

Thanks Jeffrey, that worked no problem.

Can I just thank you personally. I think Lout has the highest value of
(awesomeness/underappreciation) I have ever seen for any software, let
alone open source.  I would like to be able to see the source files not
chopped up into numbered files, but the functionality, simplicity and
documentation are absolutely first class.  I'm in awe of the time and
dedication required.

Next question, how would you do nested lists?

e.g.

* BulletList item 1
* BulletList item 2
    1. Nested NumberedList item 1
    2. Nested NumberedList item 2

without any extra vertical space at the start of the numbered list?

Cheers
Jason
