Remember that "lines" are not bounded by the [<] code which is produced by
hitting Enter. They are only bounded by the [l] code which you get by
hitting ctrl-L. And for a style whose name ends with a period, such as
list., a "linear" style, the beginning and end of the style are determined
by the line or paragraph boundary, not entirely by where you highlighted.
Whether you use the shifted arrows or the ctrl-H method, check to see what
is being highlighted. In Window-Eyes this is done with shift-ctrl-M.
I don't like the way the list. style keeps list items together on a page
and tries not to break them, so I make much use of [ptys] and various
levels of indent, the old-fashioned way, interspersed with h2 or h3
headings as appropriate. I've been too lazy to create a style that does
exactly what I want. But it would probably be a simple matter of removing
some [kp...] or [ki...] codes from the opening and closing definitions of
the list. style.
