I have a custom outline style that I call 'block outline' because it doesn't

It's set to single space. But there are times I want to double space--e.g., to make a 
greater break between "paragraphs" at a given outline level. But when I hit 
enter/return twice I get kicked out of my custom outline style.

Is this a "feature" of LO Writer outlining or is there some setting that will keep me in 
the current outline style when I add an extra line spacing? (The only thing that works now is to 
single space, add some new text, and then go to the start of that "paragraph" and hit 
enter/return again.)

Using Ubuntu 20.04 and LO 7.3.6.2 on Dell XPS.

Hi Eric, there are a couple of ways that I use to do that sort of thing when I 
use bullet or alphanumeric lists that you can also use with what you call your 
block outline style.

The first, for occasional use, is to use a soft return using Shift+Enter. This 
just gives a new line without quitting the existing paragraph.

Second solution which is worth implementing if you do lots of that stuff, is to 
create different styles. I have a 'list1' style for the first item in a list to 
give additional headspace. 'ListCont' style for all the following list items 
with close spacing. 'ListEnd' style for the last item to provide a little extra 
space after the last entry and before the regular 'text body' style.
