Is there an ItemsControl equivalent for text content?

Question

I have some data that I want to present in a FlowDocument. This will basically be a view that explains the data in a friendly way, with section headers, paragraphs of text, etc., and which I will display in a FlowDocumentScrollViewer.

To this end, I would like to create a bulleted list (<List>) out of the contents of an ObservableCollection. I know how to do that with ItemsControl, but how do I do it for ListItem elements in a FlowDocument, since they're part of the TextElement class hierarchy rather than the Control hierarchy? Is there an equivalent of ItemsControl for text content inside a TextBlock or FlowDocument?

Edit: The article Sergey linked to is the perfect starting point. The only problem is that the article's code can only use a Section or a TableRowGroup as the items panel, and doesn't yet support using a <List>. But that was trivial to fix -- just a matter of adding this code at the end of ItemsContent.GenerateContent, just before the final else:

else if (panel is List)
    ((List) panel).ListItems.Add((ListItem) element);

What you are looking for is possible, but requires significant amount of coding. Fortunately, Vincent Van Den Berghe posted a nice article on the MSDN describing how to Create Flexible UIs With Flow Documents And Data Binding , including the code!
