Change the Format of Snippets?

Question

I'm using RH 2020.7.46 on a Win10 machine.

Is it possible to change the formatting of snippets? I reuse a lot of content and snippets could be VERY helpful if I could change their format. For example, it'd be great to use a snippet in regular body text:

A standard scenario is a collection of questions, message templates, and sites/site roles tied to a customizable button that, when selected, initiates a series of simultaneous notifications to separate audiences.

But then also use it in a bulleted list:

A panic button scenario is a ...

A Zoom integration scenario is a ...

Or even just an indented paragraph vs. a standard paragraph.

Is that possible?

It's possible to use a snippet containing one or multiple paragraphs in a list as well as in a standalone paragraph. You just drag it into a blank list item.

It could get a bit whacky if you have complex formatting such as other lists in the snippet, but I've never tried that. And if you have top/bottom margins or padding on the p tag you might get some odd spacing issues - you might need to tweak your stylesheet to account for that.

OK. I was afraid of that. It'd be so helpful to be able to save unformatted text as a snippet and format it inline.
