There has always been a discrepancy between the distances between indent levels for text and for lists. The trick would be to add some indent levels to the list to get the list directly under the text. Since Pages 5 however, this is not possible anymore. To illustrate:
Compare text level 2/bullet level 5 in Pages 5 with text level 2/bullet level 3 in Pages 4.3.
Does anyone know how fix this, or how to change the default distance between indent levels, either document- or software-wide? The ruler only works on a per-paragraph basis so that's not the solution.
