Some wikis (e.g. ZWiki) allow indentation of paragraphs following list items. It's a very natural way to have a list of things with short descriptions associated.

The way to do this in TWiki is horrible -- having a following <p style="margin:left=3em">

---+ Some header

   * List Item 1

     A paragraph describing list item 1 

   * List Item 2

     A paragraph describing list item 2

The resulting html looks like this

<h1>Some header</h1>
<li><p>List Item 1<p>A paragraph describing list item 1</li>
<li><p>List Item 2<p>A paragraph describing list item 2</li>

Try this:

---+ Some header

   * List Item 1
     %BR%%BR%
     A paragraph describing list item 1 

   * List Item 2
     %BR%%BR%
     A paragraph describing list item 2

to get this:

Some header

• List Item 1
  
  A paragraph describing list item 1

• List Item 2
  
  A paragraph describing list item 2
