Hi

See the HTML output on e.g. latest `master` (ca2559c1 (The tenth batch, 2025-09-18)) for `git-config.adoc`:

    + For historical reasons, this extension is respected regardless of the core.repositoryFormatVersion setting.

The context is a definition item `worktreeConfig` where this is the second paragraph following a bullet list. So I thought maybe you can use:

    --
    <bullets>
    --

Here. But we’re already inside a `--` block. So apparently we can’t do that. I also tried a fair amount of permutations of using or not using line continuation in this context.

This particular level of nesting seems tricky to resolve with Asciidoc. Maybe someone can figure it out. So before I forget...

Thanks
(The Cc is because he is one of the Asciidoc experts as a FYI only)
