Well, I afraid that 2 plugins on "definition lists" are too weak...

Please look on this page:

http://www.valentina-db.com/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=paradigma:public:en:documen
tation:vkernel:database:files

Find here 

    ³dbName.tmp² volume

Note that the following 3 paragraphs are intending. Also note that second
paragraph in fact is Unordered List.

You cannot use  >  to quote lists. Not works.

The only way to FORCE it looks like it is now I have made using syntax:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
** "dbName.tmp" volume **

<html><blockquote></html>
Contains all temporary data and structures such as:
  * temporary tables;
  * record locks information;
  * join tables;
\\
Valentina always creates this file opening a database and removes it after
closing. In case of a system failure a new temporary file will be created on
the next opening of a database. The advantage to have such separate .tmp
volume is that we need zero time to erase any temporary files left from
previous session (in case of failure).

<html></blockquote></html>
------------------------------------------------------------------------


Also I want to note that in Dreamweaver I can do this as easy as

    SELECT 3 paragraphs and press button  INDENT RIGHT.

This can be easy done on DTP software. DokuWiki is going to be use as DOC
System, so I want to have *easy* define such layout of document:
    one header and few paragraphs with indent


IF you not like <blockquote> then lets use other tags for this. I just want
do that easy. Although again, Dreaweaver and several other wikis use
<blockquote> to indent text.


What you think?

I want be able indent text (any number of paragraphs) by simple
    SELECT + Button click in editor.

Can we get this dream? :-)
