Standardize new definitions in the text #179

We need a way to highlight definitions of special terms in the text. I think that I tried to make them italic in markdown but the CSS of the default notebook hardly makes them standout. We could make a little boxes that highlight definitions to really make them stand out. Check out this: http://swcarpentry.github.io/python-novice-inflammation/01-numpy/ and see how they make use of different color boxes for special things. We could define a CSS class that could make these definitions standout. We could also add a reference notebook at the end with all definitions, etc.
