Line breaks and reST

 

Dear reST experts,

As I was writing my first ever page in reST yesterday, I realised it
sometimes did not play well with hard line breaks. In particular,
bulleted/enumerated lists and Emacs auto-fill-mode. This resulted in
me needing to do thing like:

# Small point that looks good.
# Tiny point.
# Really long bullet that ought to be fit in one line and therefore
doesn't look so nice in the source file and makes revision control look
stupid because a small change in a paragraph-long sentence will be
recorded as a change in a really big block, all of which is kinda annoying.

Is there an easy way around this?

Thanks,
Harish
