It is simpler. Everything after the bullet and before the last " :: " is considered as tag. Everything after the last " :: " is description. Then, tag and description are parsed, allowing objects inside. org-syntax document is inaccurate here - it says that the _first_ " :: " is used as tag:description delimiter, not the _last_. I do not see any benefit changing the current parser. So, we probably need to update org-syntax document instead. -- Ihor Radchenko // yantar92, Org mode contributor, Learn more about Org mode at <https://orgmode.org/>.
