Syntax highlighting for terms (;) in description lists
Closed, DuplicatePublicFeature

Description

Feature summary: In the Wikitext source code if a semicolon is at the start of a new line, it creates a description list. Currently, it is not marked in blue in the source editor when syntax highlighting is turned on.

Benefits: Blue-highlighted text differs from black ones in that it gets rendered differently when displayed, while black text is just plain, unrendered text. Semicolons belong to the former type; it creates a term that looks like bold. Semicolons are also the only Wikitext layout symbol that isn't marked in blue.
