Perhaps the styles should all be indented the same by default and just control the interline spacing and things like that. Another related issue is the purpose of the "List N" vs "List N Cont" paragraph styles. From the indentation in the styles one can infer what follows: | aditional space here First item <--- Start style Internal item <--- base style Continuation of internal item <--- Cont style Last item <--- End style | aditional space here That cont seems to be intended to follow the base style is suggested by the default indentation of the manually formatted lists. For example: 2. Iternal item More text Continuation of item 2 The indentation provided by the Cont style is exactly the indentation needed by "Continuation of item 2" in a manually formatted list in order to be left aligned with the item text. But this seems misleading again, because the guide explains that Start will be usually linked to Cont which will be linked to End, for lists where a single style (the base style) isn't enough. Briefly, the alternative interpretations are: Start->base(->Cont)->End vs Start->Cont->End or base (for simple formatting requirements) I'll copy the relevant passages of the documentation for this last issue asap, but you can see that the problem is essentially the same: default style indentation that seems to be at odds with the usage described by the guide, maybe because of historical reasons.
