Ah :(
Then we would need a more complicated approach with explicit insertion
of groups.

In LaTeX, you are not supposed either to introduce things between
\title{} and \author{}.

We could use frames with the name of the group around the
paragraphs. What I'd like to see is a visual cue that show up only
when the cursor is in the paragraph. Therefore you can see what is the
extent of the object you are in. For example, we could have a vertical
colored bar on the left of the current paragraph. In this case
|Here is some text
| E=mc2
|and this was a formula
shows that you entered your displayed math formula correctly, while
|Here is some text
| E=mc2
and this was a formula
shows that you added wrongly a carriage return after the formula. The
idea is a bit sketchy right now, but I'm sure we could show a lot of
structure this way (environment depth...).
