If you use `-t latex -s`, or if you use `—verbose` while producing a PDF, you’ll see the LaTeX intermediate file.
Check to see that it includes these lines in the preamble:
% Make \paragraph and \subparagraph free-standing
\ifx\paragraph\undefined\else
\let\oldparagraph\paragraph
\renewcommand{\paragraph}[1]{\oldparagraph{#1}\mbox{}}
\fi
\ifx\subparagraph\undefined\else
\let\oldsubparagraph\subparagraph
\renewcommand{\subparagraph}[1]{\oldsubparagraph{#1}\mbox{}}
\fi
How come `\mbox{}` has the desired effect? I would have expected `\hfill` which you must use to make an `\item` appear on its own line.
If it does, then block-headings did what it was supposed to.
