effectively you'll need to replace the line

style, frags, bulletTextFrags = _parser.parse(text,style)

in the paragraph _setup method.


The style remains at the argument value and bulletTextFrags is 
effectively None.

To create the single frag
	from paraparser import ParaFrag
	frag = ParaFrag()
	frag.fontName = style.fontName
	frag.fontSize = style.fontSize
	frag.text = text

	frags = [frag]
