list continuation with colon ("#:") broken
Open, LowPublic

Description

Author: fpahl

Description:
Continued lists seem to be rendered incorrectly. At
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:List, under "Continuing a list item after a
sub-item", the HTML example looks OK and the wiki example has the "continuing
list item A1" in the wrong place. As far as I remember, colons used to be able
to replace any list character ('*','#'), so you could have list entries with
several paragraphs e.g. by starting the first paragraph with '*', the second
with ':'. It doesn't work that way now, and I haven't found any other mechanism
for achieving the same result.
