converting line input into columns

hi,

I have a file with formatted output like this:

Severity: Important
Status: Unknown
PDI ID: 1895
Finding Details
This vulnerability... blah, blah, blah
Vulnerability Discussion
blah, blah, blah text
Fix recommendations
blah, blah, blah text

Please advice on how to parse such a file allowing me to put it in a
column type format. As you can see, can't use : as a separator since
not all categories have it. Plus, some of the details of these
categories are plopped in a separate line instead off next to it. Best
way would probably be to put all of it in one tab seberated line
(cleaning out severity, status, etc. later) I just dont know how to do
that. Please advice.,

Thanks,
AV
