I've found a subtle bug with combination of "bullet lists" and
"definition lists". Consider the wikitext below:
*; Item 1 : description for item 1
*; Item 2 : description for item 2
The rendered HTML is that the second definition has no bullet before
it. There are two workaround:
1. Putting one line between them
*; Item 1 : description for item 1
*; Item 2 : description for item 2
2. Separate definition and description on two lines:
*; Item 1
: description for item 1
*; Item 2
: description for item 2
But #1 and #2 have different rendered aspects!
Of course, there's also the trivial workaround of using
triple-single-quotes ('''Item 1''') and shift the second line inwards. But
this is that terrific!
Anyway, this bug is very subtle.
Have a nice day
