[OS X TeX] Quote environmnet versus lists

[Peter Vamos]

My eyesight might decieve me but it seems to me that the minipage 
environment does what you want e.g.

Here is a list inside the minipage environment:\\

\begin{minipage}[c]{12cm}

\begin{enumerate}

\item First item, first paragraph. First item, first paragraph. First 
item, first paragraph. First item, first paragraph. First item, first 
paragraph. First item, first paragraph. First item, first paragraph.

First item, second paragraph. First item, second paragraph. First 
item, second paragraph. First item, second paragraph. First item, 
second paragraph.

\item Second item, first paragraph. Second item, first paragraph. 
Second item, first paragraph. Second item, first paragraph. Second 
item, first paragraph. Second item, first paragraph.

Second item, second paragraph. Second item, second paragraph. Second 
item, second paragraph. Second item, second paragraph. Second item, 
second paragraph.

\end{enumerate}

\end{minipage}

Try it. Hope that this helps.
