Hi Hans,
your proposal sounds good, but it will probably be difficult to
implement something like this. Maybe switching to GtkSourceView as
the editor component might simplify this, but I doubt it.
Cheers,

Lines of lists should be shown with indentation in "Edit" mode, e.g.
not like this:
- The quick brown fox jumps over a lazy dog. The
quick brown fox jumps over a lazy dog.
- The quick brown fox jumps over a lazy dog.\\
The quick brown fox jumps over a lazy dog.
- The quick brown fox jumps over a lazy dog. The
quick brown fox jumps over a lazy dog.
- The quick brown fox jumps over a lazy dog. The
quick brown fox jumps over a lazy dog.
but better as follows:
- The quick brown fox jumps over a lazy dog. The
quick brown fox jumps over a lazy dog.
- The quick brown fox jumps over a lazy dog.\\
The quick brown fox jumps over a lazy dog.
- The quick brown fox jumps over a lazy dog. The
quick brown fox jumps over a lazy dog.
- The quick brown fox jumps over a lazy dog. The
quick brown fox jumps over a lazy dog.
(I hope it's still visible in the mail).
Reason:
Big advantage of RedNotebook is, that even in "Edit" mode there is
some formatting (e.g. bold, underline, tags in red), which makes
editing much more user friendly than e.g. wiki pages :). But lists
are hard to read and very confusing, because the wrapped lines, and
the lines after manual line breaks, are not indented according to
the level of the list. A simple indentation with adding something
like "virtual spaces" would be perfect for "Edit" mode, so I suppose
and hope that support for this may not be much work. I'm almost
always in "Edit" mode, because most of the time I need to change
something, so for users like me such a feature is even more
important than for general users.
PS.: I'm new in the mailing list, so excuse me if something formal
is not OK - I use Thunderbird (not Outlook) for mailing lists, and
hope that the format is OK.
Regards
Hans
