Verbatim text does not work in itemizations

[triska]

In the documentation of crypto_data_encrypt/4, I would like to format text as follows:

• chacha20-poly1305
  Description1
• aes-128-cbc
  Description2
• aes-128-gcm
  Description3

So, I use:

%     * =|chacha20-poly1305|=
%       Description1
%
%     * =|aes-128-cbc|=
%       Description2
%
%     * =|aes-128-gcm|=
%       Description3

As result, I unexpectedly get:

=() | chacha20()-poly1305()|=()
    Description1 
=() | aes()- 128-cbc()|=()
    Description2 
=() | aes()- 128-gcm()|=()
    Description3 

The issue here seems to be that verbatim text, i.e., =|...|= is not recognized as an item of the itemization if there are also additional descriptions present.

Cute. The rule applied is that if all first lines of all items are valid Prolog terms we render the Prolog terms and make lists like

  * Term
     Description

Now, =|chacha20-poly1305|= parses as a Prolog term. The rendering obviously fails badly. That is a bug, but if all worked right the result would still be =|chacha20-poly1305|=. If these are atoms, please write 'chacha20-poly1305'. The quote is lost in the rendering, but this can (and should) be fixed.

If you want a description list without Prolog terms, use the variant derived from Twiki:

  $ =|label|= :
  Description

The label is fixed width, but also bold.
