Nested style including two or more sentences

Question

I want to apply char style to a word or sentence containing 1 or more words and ending with a ":"

After that there may be 1 or more sentence describing it which I want in a normal style. Then again a word or sentence ending with ":" where I need to apply a char style.

I have tried this using Nested style (screenshot attached). It works for one sentence only but there are more than 1 sentence, it is not working.

What modificaiton do I need to do in Nested style ? It is driving me crazy.

I posted a similar question but that was for single sentence.

@jmlevy Thanks. I am using a grep style here. Just wanted to know about another solution whether it is possible using Nested Styles or not.

Hi @Bedazzled532, I think you would have to insert some kind of marker, so Grep is going to be more efficient:

In this case, I would use a GREP style, like this:(\w+\s)*\w+?:
