52.0. "Paragraph, List, and Left Margin" by GIZMOE::SKOGLUND () Wed Dec 21 1988 11:04

    The behavior of the ONLINE doctype seems to imply that if a list is 
    included within a paragraph, the list should end the paragraph.  Is 
    this a correct observation?

    The indication of this is the misalignment of the left margin of text 
    before and after a list unless the text immediately after the list is 
    preceded by a <P> tag.  The text after a list and not preceded
    by a <P> tag is further to the left than the text before the list.

52.1True of all DOCUMENT doctypesCRAYON::GENTThere is no poetry without madness -- DemocritusWed Dec 21 1988 12:5710
    Correct, sort of. In DOCUMENT, paragraphs are implicitly ended
    by any other element: a list, table, figure, example, etc.
    This is true of all DOCUMENT doctypes. 
    
    In the situation you describe, you must explicitly start a new 
    paragraph (with the <P> tag) *or* you can explicitly continue 
    the previous paragraph with the <CP> tag.
