Subject: Multiple paragraph <li> under <dd> in commonmark_x
Date: Mon, 22 Aug 2022 07:57:48 -0700 (PDT)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <fe0dab8e-b982-4742-a4fd-b683df1fbdeen@googlegroups.com> (raw)

I may be abusing definition lists, but I regularly use them with the `<dt>` 
being a date of a blog-like entry, and then the `<dd>` being the body. This 
results in me often needing multi-paragraph `<dd>`s.

Just doing that is very feasible:

```
> printf -- 'term\n:   Para1\n\n    Para2\n\nRest' | pandoc -f commonmark_x 
-t native

[ DefinitionList

    [ ( [ Str "term" ]

      , [ [ Plain [ Str "Para1" ] , Plain [ Str "Para2" ] ] ]

      )

    ]

, Para [ Str "Rest" ]

]

```

But today I needed the `<dd>` to contain an `<ol>` with a multi-paragraph 
`<li>`, and this is not working:

```

> printf -- 'term\n:   1. Para1\n\n       Para2\n\nRest' | pandoc -f 
commonmark_x -t native

[ DefinitionList

    [ ( [ Str "term" ]

      , [ [ OrderedList

              ( 1 , Decimal , Period ) [ [ Plain [ Str "Para1" ] ] ]

          , Plain [ Str "Para2" ]

          ]

        ]

      )

    ]

, Para [ Str "Rest" ]

]

```


If I indent the `Para2` any further it becomes a CodeBlock.

Is there anyway to markup this text that would (or at least should, perhaps 
in some later revision of pandoc) enable me to get:


```

[ DefinitionList

    [ ( [ Str "term" ]

      , [ [ OrderedList

              ( 1 , Decimal , Period ) [ [ Plain [ Str "Para1" ],  Plain [ 
Str "Para1" ]] ]

          ]

        ]

      )

    ]

, Para [ Str "Rest" ]

```

Or should I just stop trying to include such complex content in a `<dd>`? 
(and presumably get the layout I'm looking for with css classes instead).
