I'd like to add that with bullets (<li> items) the behavoure has been 
changed between version 9 and version 10. Here I have the impression it 
was with indent but it is the way the next item gets it type.

In Amaya 9, at a <li> type, the next was a <p> inside the previos <li>, 
a second hit on return made it the next <li>. Subsequent returns move 
outside the bullet levels. In Amaya 10, there is a slight change that to 
get a <p> inside a <li> needs shift-return. These messages made me think 
and try. Now I know, there is no reason to report this as a bug. 
Specially since the amaya 9 behavoure differed from other editors where 
amaya 10 is moved towards them.

I have to admit here that hitting the bullet button once more while at a 
bullet, the sublist is opened. It would be nice if there is a way to 
'indent' a selection of bullets by making it a <ul><li> inside the 
already existing <li>.
