[Docutils-users] Lists and indenting

[Dave K. <dku...@cu...>]

Here is a question about the definition of reStructuredText.

When I write lists in plain text, this:

=====================================

Here is version #1 of a list:

  1. Item #1.

  2. Item #2.

=====================================

Seems more natural than this:

=====================================

Here is version #2 of a list:

1. Item #1.

2. Item #2.

=====================================

But, the first version generates a block quote.  That's correct
according to the reST reference document.

But, I'm wondering whether, when the indented block is a list
(enumerated or itemized), it might be better to change the
definition so that it is *not* a block quote.

Or, is that option already there some where and I just have not
found it?

Or, maybe someone could just give me reasons why this is not a good
idea, and then I'd gain a little more tranquility and inner peace,
I think.
