Thanks, your fix looks great. Good to get some structure in there.

The question for me is how this holds up for really long lines?
If such lines get wrapped into multiple lines in the generated translation,
it's not AsciiDoc any more.

I'll have to check how that works.
And set up a test case for another thing i saw (and worked around) today.

Anyhow, I'm happy with the progress we're making.
This will be awesome :-)

My plan is to keep migrating translated documents over to use po4a,
and report problems I encounter. We use a lot of the features in
AsciiDoc, which might be a good thing here.
