Here's a thought. Perusing the ColdFusion Developer's Exchange returned
CF_StyledParagraph.

It's slightly different from ParagraphFormat() I believe (I actually
haven't used it), but maybe you could work around it.
Maybe run Paragraph Format on a block of text, then run this custom tag on
a list (with <p> as the delimiter)? My brain's kinda fried right now, but
I'm sure there is a potential workaround for this.
