reStructured Text's Field Lists don't render correctly

[jgm]

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. Create a field list in rst

:field1: variable
:field2: variable1
:field3: variable2
:field4: variable3

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expect output to be of the rough format

field1

variable

etc

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

Ubuntu Maverick (10.10) fuly up to date, Pandoc ~1.7 - cloned the git repo.

Note that some fields come out correctly, but not all fields do.

I believe the problems have been fixed in the latest development version on github.

703c421

(Note: in order to install this, you must first install pandoc-types from the github repo,
and then reinstall citeproc-hs after tweaking its build-depends to allow pandoc-types 1.8.
So you may just want to wait to test this further.)

I'll mark this fixed, but if you still encounter problems, reply here.

I'm sorry for the late reply. Largely it is now working, but not completely - this may be because of a misunderstanding of mine.

In the case where we have

:field1: variable

if field1 has a space in it, like so:

:field 1: variable

there still seems to be an issue. I've not looked deeply into the problem, but I noticed that the fields that were not rendering correctly all had spaces, while all others (including those that previously were not rendering correctly) were rendering correctly.

Presuming that this is a regex issue, I considered that this initial diagnosis was enough. Shout out if you need any more.

Can you supply an actual test case that fails? Field names with spaces seem to work for me (see below). Are you sure you're using pandoc 1.8 now?

% pandoc -f rst -t native
:field1: variable
:field 1: variable

[DefinitionList
[([Str "field1"],
[[Para [Str "variable"]]])
,([Str "field 1"],
[[Para [Str "variable"]]])]]

You are right, my bad. Somehow I ended up with /usr/lib/pandoc (1.6) as well as ~/.cabal/bin/pandoc (1.8.0.1).

I removed the old stuff, all good now - thanks
