As a workaround, you could use a character that resembles a colon like ˸ https://www.amp-what.com/unicode/search/colon Yea - it looks like there is no 'escape character' to use colon (like : or `:) and even putting it in a "string" doesn't help the syntax. The titles are just freetext unfortuantely, so counting spaces is unlikely to work here. |

Description
Timeline syntax does not permit the colon character in the time field.
Steps to reproduce
timeline title East Valley Nuclear Plant Incident Report 2021-10-11 : Amazon Package containing fireworks mistakenly left in control room 2021-10-12 14:00 : Technician A arrived at Facility with bag containing Four Juggling Pins 2021-10-12 14:20 : Technician A arrived at control room and joined Technician B at console 2021-10-12 14:28 : Technician C exited elevator, holding a birthday cake intended for Technician BSetup
Suggested Solutions
I'm currently using the Unicode raised colon character '˸' as a workaround, but this is not ideal for accessibility or for UX.
timeline title East Valley Nuclear Plant Incident Report 2021-10-11 : Amazon Package containing fireworks mistakenly left in control room 2021-10-12 14˸00 : Technician A arrived at Facility with bag containing Four Juggling Pins 2021-10-12 14˸20 : Technician A arrived at control room and joined Technician B at console 2021-10-12 14˸28 : Technician C exited elevator, holding a birthday cake intended for Technician BI am unfamiliar with how Mermaid parses it's syntax, but the cleanest solution would be to distinguish between a colon surrounded by spaces, and a colon surrounded by numerical digits.
