I have a long LaTeX document, with nested enumerations and sections. It is important that I keep the numbering, structures as they are, but I want to insert replies that are visually different from the original text. I also would like to achieve this without excessive fiddling in the original code, but instead simply introduce a new reply command or environment.

To be easily understood by people it would be great if the reply layout would imitate email reply layout, i.e., add a vertical line (or a ">") on the left margin to all original content, but keep it blank whenever the reply is used.

I was able to achieve the opposite with mdframed, but I cannot simply switch this around as this would break the orignal text's lists and sectioning.

  Not a solution, but if you are looking into this I would try to use tcolorbox instead of mdframed. tcolorbox is actively maintained and has an awesome manual while mdframed development seems to have stalled a while ago.

  @Steven B. Segletes, Certainly related, but different, because it does not allow me to insert replies wherever I want. I can't write embed text beginenumerate item item1 response.

  @sheß Could you clarify? One can indeed put enumerations inside the embed. So are you looking to suspend the embed to provide a response and then continue the enumeration where it left off?

  What if you just draw a line on the left margin (using a suitably prepared background image perhaps), and use your defined response environment to draw a box with a white border on the left to cover up the pre-drawn line?
