You can do this by overriding the blocktitle entry in the asciidoc.conf
[titles] section e.g. in ~/.asciidoc/asciidoc.conf. I think that making
the above behavior the default would be to restrictive, it would also
break backward compatibility -- the following re would allow block
titles to begin with two (but not three) periods and gets round the
ellipsis confusion:
blocktitle=^\.(?P<title>([^.\s].*)|(\.[^.\s].*))$
I'll change to this in the next release.
Currently the workaround to avoid situations like this altogether is to
move the ellipsis to the end of the preceding line.
