A list inside an alias on a markdown page repeats the alias indefinitely

[emmenlau]

Describe the bug
I have the following alias in my doxygen.cfg:

ALIASES += highlight_green{1}="<div style='border: 2px solid green; background-color: #FFFFEE; margin: 10px 0px 20px 0px; padding: 10px;'>\1</div>"

Generally it works nicely on markdown pages, so I can i.e. write:

@highlight_green{Here is a relevant aspect!}

However I'd like to also put lists inside the alias, like this:

@highlight_green{
 - Consider this aspect: A
 - Also consider the other aspect: B
}

When I do that, the resulting page shows all text following the highlight also with the same highlight!

Expected behavior
Only the list inside the alias should be rendered with the alias formatting.

Hahaha, you are really fast! Thanks! I added the issue number to the zip file, therefore the upload was delayed :-)

Also, I can work around the problem by using an HTML unordered list, like so:

@highlight_green{
<ul>
<li>List entry A.</li>
<li>List entry B.</li>
</ul>
}

This line is not highlighted, which is great!

Indeed, the mentioned problem is also noted in the warnings:

.../input/frontpage.md:13: warning: found </div> at different nesting level (5) than expected (2)
.../input/frontpage.md:16: warning: end of comment block while expecting command </div>

this is something that should be investigated (in the doxygen code).

Note: you don't generated LaTeX but the alias could be a bit more sophisticated / working for other formats as well by changing:

ALIASES                = "highlight_green{1}=<div style='border: 2px solid green; background-color: #FFFFEE; margin: 10px 0px 20px 0px; padding: 10px;'>\1</div>"

into

ALIASES                = "highlight_green{1}=\htmlonly<div style='border: 2px solid green; background-color: #FFFFEE; margin: 10px 0px 20px 0px; padding: 10px;'>\endhtmlonly\1\htmlonly</div>\endhtmlonly"

It also sees to it that the original problem disappears.

Awesome support, thanks a lot @albert-github !!! This issue is then rather low priority, because the workaround is perfectly valid and I can confirm it works for me (out of the box)!

Thanks a lot!

Nice work, thanks @albert-github ! I'll try to test current master soon.
