PmWiki treats any line that aligns horizontally with the text of a
previous list item as being a continuation of that list item. This
is very useful for something like:
# This is the first item
* This is a bullet list nested in the first item
* More bullet list
More text that is still part of the first item
# This is the second item
Without this "aligned text continues a list item" feature, getting
the "More text ..." to be part of the first item is very difficult.
Also, the above markup is what people naturally expect to work.
This explanation is not relevant to my case, because there's nothing
that continues there.
So, in the case you've posted, what we have is:
:definition:definition text
Preformatted text
Preformatted text
continuation of definition
Preformatted text
That is wrong. Definition is not continuing, the <dl> is already
terminated before the preformatted text.
There's not even a new <dt>-<dd> pair around "continuation of
definition". It's surrounded by another <dl></dl> pair , it's rendered
as a new list, and it's also malformed because it does not have <dt>.
Please check the generated html.
I'm not willing to claim that preformatted text should
automatically halt the definition list. One might say that
the heading should halt the definition list... but I'm not
even inclined to agree with that.
Heading should not terminate a dl? Some markup that starts at the first
column following a dl not terminating it? Oh, well.
The solution to the problem is fairly simple -- use [==]
to force the end of the definition list:
This is not a solution, it's a workaround. I'll settle with this
workaround rather than reading more of your contradictory remarks.
Or, use [@...@] for the preformatted text.
I need to insert wiki markup into preformatted text so I can't use that.
Thank you.
