A few days ago I asked how, in the OO worldview, one should properly

No). After thinking about the consequences, I followed with a thread

a practical question [that is holding up a paper I'm writing]. That
question received no answers, probably because I (a) asked it poorly
and (b) embedded it in a (verbose) question about design philosophy.
May I try again? [My paper is waiting. ;-)]
This is a common issue, seen all the time, especially in procedural
documents like service manuals: A paragraph with an embedded list.
The first few sentences of the paragraph describe the list, and then
the elements are listed. One would like to treat this, spatially and
conceptually, as a single paragraph.
For such purposes Writer provides the intra-paragraph line break
(Shift+Enter), which breaks the line without invoking the
inter-paragraph spacing. But there is (at least) one problem: It
can't be used with "Justified" paragraph alignment. How can this be
handled?
John
I believe that you are saying that you want a paragraph that contains a
list that is part of that paragraph. In other words, you desire for the
list to be part of the paragraph. You will likely need to place the list
in a frame and anchor the frame as a character. The entire list will
then be treated as part of the paragraph (even though the list itself
contains paragraphs).
