Format test

Item that we want to present as a single piece of formatted text (ie appearing in a single emphasised area) but is made up of 3 paragraphs. Applying the formatting across paragraphs creates 3 separate boxes which loses clarity and looks messy:

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Praesent in justo sed diam maximus pretium.

Proin non vehicula enim. Donec a neque sit amet leo porta bibendum in vel nunc. Maecenas volutpat cursus mauris, a semper libero condimentum at.

Cras nec porta turpis. Etiam nibh massa, vulputate in lorem et, venenatis feugiat elit.

Work around is to use breaks rather than paragraph breaks to mimic the paragraph formatting:

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Praesent in justo sed diam maximus pretium.

Proin non vehicula enim. Donec a neque sit amet leo porta bibendum in vel nunc. Maecenas volutpat cursus mauris, a semper libero condimentum at.

Cras nec porta turpis. Etiam nibh massa, vulputate in lorem et, venenatis feugiat elit.

But this is more complicated if the section includes bullets as these are treated as separate paragraphs by the formatting:

Work around involves pasting in bullet points and is clumsy and more time consuming:

• Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Praesent in justo sed diam maximus pretium.

• Proin non vehicula enim. Donec a neque sit amet leo porta bibendum in vel nunc. Maecenas volutpat cursus mauris, a semper libero condimentum at.

• Cras nec porta turpis. Etiam nibh massa, vulputate in lorem et, venenatis feugiat elit.

Is there a way to have the formatting (red, blue or yellow box) applied across multiple paragraphs/bullets to appear as a single box?
