Swiss Army knives have many uses: are you just saying that paragraphs 
have wide application?!

You mean here a proper bulleted or numbered list?

Your problem here is that the items in a list are normally separate, 
single paragraphs. But you want one list item to have multiple 
paragraphs. You know that if you press Enter to create a paragraph 
break you will start a new list item, which you don't want. So you 
are trying a line break (Shift+Enter) instead. That - quite 
understandably, I'd suggest - creates the problem you describe: 
that's what you'd want to happen if you really did want a line break.

Instead, you really must create the paragraph break by pressing Enter 
in the normal way. Now your problem is just how to tell LibreOffice 
that you don't want this to signal a new list item. There is an easy 
way to do this: just press Backspace immediately after Enter. The 
bullet or number is removed, along with the tab character, and your 
new paragraph becomes part of the existing list item instead. 
Subsequent numbered items are renumbered.

You don't need to do this immediately: you can achieve this effect at 
any time just by pressing Backspace, providing you have the cursor at 
the beginning of your new paragraph.

I trust this helps.
