As I said previously (after I read your question again, sorry about the
very first furphy reply) Asciidoc does not know anything about the required
order of items. It does not "know" that a title must be followed by a
paragraph, or that two block titles in a row is illegal, and there is no
way in the conf file to tell it so. The line in conf
blocktitle=^\.(?P<title>([^.\s].*)|(\.[^.\s].*))$
just tells Asciidoc to store a value in the {title} attribute, it says
nothing about where the attribute is used. It can actually be consumed by
quite a number of elements, and you can configure more to do so.
So yes it is difficult to detect two block titles in a row.
