Description lists are unescapable

[Christian Boos]

Once a "::" is seen in an indented line, it's always recognized as a description list separator, and there's no way to escape it.

In a bulleted list, it's OK, therefore I can write the following:

• neither with "!::" (rendered as "!::")
• nor with the code block syntax {{{::}}} (rendered as ::)
• nor with backticks `::` (rendered as ::).

But if I repeat the above 3 lines, this time without the bullet:

neither with "!::" (rendered as "!::") nor with the code block syntax {{{::}}} (rendered as ::) nor with backticks `::` (rendered as ::).

The :: turns each line in a description term, ignoring any form of escape.

Ok, I guess since I wrote the DL stuff I'll take this one.

Hi there,

Seems to still exists on up-to-date versions of Trac. Tested on online demo of 0.12. According to my understanding, following code should display items (desc1, desc2, desc3) in monospace font + no wiki processing of the two :. This is not what happen.

Example below

 {{{desc1::}}}:: blahblabla
 {{{desc2::}}}:: blahblabla
 {{{desc3::}}}:: blahblabla

renders as:

{{{desc1

blahblabla

{{{desc2

blahblabla

{{{desc3

blahblabla
