I will try to rephrase my mind in a intelligible way, and you'll tell me if I succeed doing so... I meant, for me, there are only 2 useful options regarding a "block environment" such as BLOCKQUOTE and VERSE: - either, nothing is "interpreted"; that is, line breaks are preserved, and lists are preserved as well (outputted as they are written in the block) - either, line breaks are not preserved, and lists are nicely formatted as lists, with nice bullets in HTML/PDF (customized in CSS or class file). For me, as of now, I do not see a useful use case, where one would want to have line breaks preserved (as written in the source block) *but* lists interpreted (ie, not as written in the source block). Am I clearer? Am I right or wrong, with regard to your own experience? >> For the emails, what environment would you advice me to use in >> general?
