That's quite a complex document for something I believe should be
quite simple.
When I use Emacs, it can reflow text (M-q) by looking at the
indentation level of the following lines. It can even cope with
bullets, outdents, indents, etc. If a frontend display routine could
handle that, that would solve the problem generically, and would
handle any level of indentation required.
Specifically regarding bullets: We now have UTF-8 encoded control
files, so why not simply use the UCS bullet character (U+2022)?

Roger
