[gutvol-d] Problems in RST with numbered lists.

OK, I'm making some progress with RST but I'm still stuck on numbered lists. I don't *want* numbered lists. My original text has paragraphs that begin with numbers (both Arabic and Roman) and I just want these to be formatted as paragraphs or block quotes with no <li> and <ol> tags. When RST puts these in the lists are not in a nice vertical column but indent and outdent at odd points. So again I don't want numbered lists here. I just want my paragraphs left alone even when they are numbered. Thoughts? James Simmons
