- Have you tried to embed something, like a pre-formatted (code)
section inside a list?

- When I use my template for books, which is a definition list, there
are <<BR>> elements included for all the empty fields, which thus get
separated by a large gap.

- When there is a <<BR>> element in the moin markup code, and you edit
it with the editor, the lines get concatenated, messing up your code.

- Tried to insert an empty line inside a list element, such that you
have two paragraphs in there?
