Description
Placing certain (innocuous) markup in the description part of a definition item causes white space to be inserted between the term and the description.
Steps to reproduce
- Start a definition list
In the definition part of an entry, include a link or any kind of format modifier (emphasis, underline, monospaced, other?
Example
Definition1:: has only plain text. Definition2:: Contains ''Italic'' text. Definition3:: There's something '''bold''' here. Definition4:: Throw in another plain one Definition5:: And it's a [:MoinMoinBugs:link] now. Definition6:: Try a bit of `typewriter text` Definition7:: And end off with more plain text
- Definition1
- has only plain text.
- Definition2
Contains Italic text.
- Definition3
There's something bold here.
- Definition4
- Throw in another plain one
- Definition5
And it's a link now.
- Definition6
Try a bit of typewriter text
- Definition7
- And end off with more plain text
Component selection
standard HTML rendering.
<dd> <p class="line862"> Try a bit of <tt class="backtick">typewriter text</tt> <span class="anchor" id="line-26"></span> </dd> ... <dd> And end off with more plain text <span class="anchor" id="line-27"></span> <span class="anchor" id="line-28"></span> </dd>
So the different rendering is caused by:
<p class="line862">

Workaround
- Manually format your definition lists
- Refrain from using any modifiers in the definition part
- Pretend you don't notice

Now this is more like it.
Discussion
Not directly related, but relevant... I've tried to hunt down problems in the rendered HTML several times, and it seems to me that the pervasive use of the line-number based classes really makes it difficult to understand what's going on. Is this really the best way to do it, or is there a less obfuscated method that could be used?
