BUG MIGRATED FROM SOURCEFORGE
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=965256&group_id=34373&atid=411192
Originally submitted by Piotr Matuszewski (matusz)  2004-06-02 22:03


wikitext syntax for dt/dd is broken now, as it needs a
space before colon to be recognized

example:

;raniuszka: a small forest bird

is parsed as

<dt>raniuszka: a small forest bird</dt>

instead of

<dt>raniuszka</dt><dd>a small forest bird</dt>

;raniuszka :a small forest bird

is parsed correctly

see history for [[pl:%C5%9Awistunka_le%C5%9Bna]]

especially compare current version to

I've witnessed this too.  Another change is that the 
stylesheets now make the text within the 's bold while 
before it wasn't.

This has been driving me crazy.  I didn't realize that inserting a space fixed
this; thank you.  I've been doing dt/dd markup by hand for months.

Fixed in HEAD (Parser.php revision 1.311).

Seems to be solved.
