Outdented para as section #81

Closed mbakeranalecta closed 7 years ago

I'm wondering if there is a case to be made for an outdented para being used as a shortcut for section + title.

    Structured writing can be used to drive both the {top-down} 
    and {bottom-up} aspects of information architecture.

    Categorization
        One of the elements of top-down information architecture is categorization. 

We already have a rule that a paragraph cannot have block children, so there is no ambiguity here. The most obvious issue is whether there is a limit on the length of a paragraph that is recognized this way.

One trick might be to only recognize it if it does not contain/end with a period. Not sure if that translates to all languages though.

The more I think about this the more I don't like it. It is obscure without any real usability advantage.
