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>
