==term==: this is the description for term

It would be very useful to be able to highlight the term somehow.

Thanks!

The verbatim tag, on purpose, disables all processing within it's contents, and we like it that way because it's much better than having to use a whole bunch of <nop> (no operation) prefixes. Some tags can be nested, for example: I'd like to be able to nest codes so that a bold item appears within an italicised text line.

_I'd like to be able to nest codes so that a *bold item* appears within an italicised text line._

Or perhaps you would rather have a highlight within a code-style line.

=have a ==highlight== within a code-style line.=

For the example you gave, put the colon within the double equals (most wiki markup requires white space on either side of the beginning and end operator characters.) term: this is the description of the term

==term:== =this is the description of the term=

Does that answer your request or did you something else in mind?
