Subject: [PATCH] Fix multi-paragraph list items in OPTIONS section
Message-ID: <20060319233946.GB22802@diku.dk>
URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/20060319233946.GB22802%40diku.dk

```
Asciidoc cannot handle multi-paragraph description list items without the
need for adding special control characters and reindenting all paragraphs
but the first. Workaround it in make-cg-asciidoc so that the documentation
in the script headers can use the more intuitive and readable formatting.

Affected files are cg-patch and cg-commit.
