Support for definition lists

[mavam]

Does support for description lists exist for roff output? I tried the markdown extra syntax but did not see an effect. I'd be nice to have that feature, as it is available in ronn.

Tagged paragraphs are the closest things to definition lists that md2man currently offers.

I see. One question regarding the output generation: is the following expected behavior?

The markdown code

`foo`
   f
   fo
   foo

  `bar` 
   b
   ba
   bar

`baz`
 b
 ba
 baz

yields a man page of the form

       foo
          f
          fo
          foo

       bar       b
                 ba
                 bar

       baz b ba baz

and in roff:

\fB\fCfoo\fR
   f
   fo
   foo
.TP
\fB\fCbar\fR 
   b
   ba
   bar
.PP
\fB\fCbaz\fR
b
ba
baz

Yes, that is as expected. :+1: Your first and second paragraphs are tagged paragraphs, which are most similar to the definition lists you seek. In contrast, your third paragraph is a normal paragraph. :necktie:

Okay, perfect. This is close enough to definition lists. I'll close the ticket for now.
