The problem is occurring much earlier than that: at the parse stage.  So 
why is your text being parsed as a definition list?  Definition lists 
recognition is triggered by an indented second line of a text block, 
like this:

     first line
         second line

An indent as little as one space is enough.  Is your text indented, and 
are you prepending something else?  Check the output of the "pseudoxml" 
writer.

I should put in for a free open source project license for WingIDE one 
of these days...
