That is what they were there for, glad they were useful.

Lists get really ugly and confusing and I have only done complicated lists
when I was intentionally trying to break^W crash^W test abiword.
I thought it was OpenOffice that was missing list functionality Abiword
provided rather than the other way around. So perhaps if you can spare
some time to explain how the lists in Abiword are lacking in some ways the
developer might be able to more easily improve things on the abiword side
than you think. I realise however there were some tradeoffs in the number
systems and cases where it was difficult to have things both ways so
the developers did the best they could at the time which although
not necessarily what OpenOffice would like it was and is some very
impressive work.
Goodnight
