Thanks for reminding me at this issue. 

I've seen it some time ago, but didn't find the time to fix it, yet.

Thanks for the reply. Is there a workaround? How come it worked previously?

I'm afraid there is no workaround. It was a dirty hack and - AFAIR - because of 
some side effects I had to switch it off again. 

I started to generalize "display=inline" for all kinds of blocks, but it is not 
finished. You can find lots of {$ifdef DO_BLOCK_INLINE} in the code, but 
defining it does not work, yet.

Thanks for the update. Can you recall the last revision where it worked so I 
can rollback if needed?

This feature has been switched off with r295 of Jun 24, 2012 to fix issue 145:

Issue 145: Freeing documents containing inlined list items like <li 
style="display:inline"> produces exceptions, if they contain blocks like <div> 
etc.
- Fixed: no exceptions any more, but display=inline does not work.
- Required: general rework of blocks and sections to display blocks inline.

Hi OC,

Thanks for the reply. Any ETA on inline support before I rollback? Any quick 
fix that can be applied to latest revision?

Regards, WP

Sorry for being late.

And sorry, there is no timeline yet.
Although this enhancement would be very welcome, I can't say, when I can 
continue with it as it will require a lot of changes. :(
