It looks like very few compilers recognize definition lists, so we would need to switch to one that does before we can support this... For the time being, you should probably just use <dl> tags, and those should be preserved.

Also, I don't think that definition lists are supported by common markdown, so idk what standard we should go off of.

That right it is a fancy feature ! But it is recognized by pandoc, that’s enough for me ! By the way, which parser are you using ?

Right now I'm using marked, but I'd like to switch to a common-markdown compliant parser in the future.
