Nested Blocks with Balanced Delimiters

[tajmone]

All block elements with variable-length balanced delimiters that support nested contents need to be fixed to ensure they correctly distinguish between delimiters marking the block's end vs delimiters starting a new nested block.

Currently, nested EXAMPLE blocks break up a document, because the nested block delimiters are treated as the closing delimiter of the parent block.

Since this affects different types of AsciiDoc blocks, with different delimiters, we'll need to:

• List all the AsciiDoc block types affected by this.
  • Check which blocks types are supported by the current syntax and:
    • Create a dedicated Issue for each block type (if unsupported, mark it as pending implementation).
    • Create a test file for each supported block type.
• Create a "balanced delimiters" milestone.

In the meantime, this thread will serve as main reference for all blocks types.
