Well, there is the point that a quotation occationally will contain a few short paragraphs, so using the paragraph end as a limit won't work well. People do select "two and a half" paragraph in order to apply a style. Perhaps not often, but it do happen. It is nice if it works, even if the code have to create several insets for the multiple paragraphs. If you can select something, then you can cut/paste it. It'd be nice if styles always will apply too. Helge Hafting
