As we are already on the topic...I have always been wondering how to end a nested environment *without* starting a new item in the previous level: 1) This is item 1.

This additional explanations have to appear below the list of sub-items.2) This is item 2.Seems to be a pretty basic thing to me. Am I missing something obvious?
As Paul described below, you need to indent the sub-items *and* the standard paragraph in between. (See the attached.)

Enter the description, start a new paragraph, set the environmentto either Standard (for a paragraph) or Itemize (for a bullet list), type madly, then increase the depth of the paragraph (Edit->Increase List Depth, M-S-right or the appropriate tool bar button, which has a right-pointing arrow). /Paul
