It's not an "issue". It's just that I use |<| ... |>| whenever putting
spoken parts, and I should resort to that trick everytime I have multipar
speeches. And I cannot to
|<| Speech par 1.
|<| Speech par 2.|>|
because the second |<| turns out to be a subsentence (which is not the
case), and the |>| closes the subsentence instead of the sentence.
