I write exams and often want to write
<background>
1. question
2. question
<new background>
3. question
4. question
I gave up and switched to
1. <background>
a. question
b. question
2. <new background>
This brings up other problems with lists. There is no way to start 2.
on a new page that I know of (with either format). The placement of @NP
inside @ListItem{} does not produce the desired effect. Also, although
tables can be placed within @ListItem{}, the last column of the table
extends to the edge of the table. To get proper formatting, I always
have to insert a dummy blank column.
