All word processors excel at this task. However, may be it is just a
habit you (and everyone used to word processors) got. May be with an XML
editor you need to think differently: in terms of inserting structures,
rather in term of ``styling paragraphs''.
but I fail to find a simple way to do this in XMLmind.
That's right. There is no simple way to do this. XMLmind XML Editor
currently works by inserting structures and only supports converting
between similar structures (e.g. convert an itemized list to an ordered
list).
Of course, as always, it is probably possible to write or record a macro
command which does this (to a certain extent) and then binding this
macro to a keystroke.

Thanks for any help (or new feature),
Great minds think alike ;-) We are currently very seriously thinking
about also supporting the ``styled paragraph approach'' in XMLmind XML
Editor v5.5.
For now, we are not yet convinced that it is superior in terms of
end-user productivity to the current ``insert structure'' approach.
However, we are convinced that we could sell more copies of XMLmind XML
Editor if we also supported the ``styled paragraph approach''.
