You format the relevant paragraphs [of the list] to have spacing no

after.  The list would be comprised of separate paragraphs for each
list item as any list would be and the lack of additional spacing
makes it LOOK like one paragraph.  You can then apply any
justification rule to the list you want.

But don't you want the last item in the list to adopt the same end-of-paragraph spacing as the document's default paragraph? - IOW. the last list member has a different paragraph "style" from all other members? Then what happens if the list changes? - say, re-ordered, or a new member added? Shouldn't the whole idea of object encapsulation make styles insensitive to these considerations - and relieve the author from having to make such style adjustments?



You set the spacing before the paragraph following the list to be equal to the sum of the spacing before and after on the "normal" paragraphs in the document. You can add as many list items as you wish at any time you wish and the appearance will remain the same.
