Thank you. I have applied a slightly different patch.
The formatting is still not optimal, however, as you can end up with
something like
[http://www.npr.org/blogs/monkeysee/2009/03/a_very_long_url_makes_a_very_s.html]:
Lorem
ipsum
dolor
sit
amet,
consectetur
adipisicing
elit
A proper formatting would be, for example,
[http://www.npr.org/blogs/monkeysee/2009/03/a_very_long_url_makes_a_very_s.html]:
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do
eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut
enimad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris
I guess a threshold would then be needed, though, as the following is
still nice and probably desirable
lorem: Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed
do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut
enimad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi
But I'm not sure if it is common to have such long tags in description
lists.
