Definition Lists
Definition lists don't appear to be supported in markdown but are supported using HTML
The HTML looks like this:
<dl>
<dt>First Term</dt>
<dd>This is the definition of the first term.</dd>
<dt>Second Term</dt>
<dd>This is one definition of the second term. </dd>
<dd>This is another definition of the second term.</dd>
</dl>
and the output:
<dl> <dt>First Term</dt> <dd>This is the definition of the first term.</dd> <dt>Second Term</dt> <dd>This is one definition of the second term. </dd> <dd>This is another definition of the second term.</dd> </dl>
