Some Markdown parsers support definition lists
Parsers like goldmark (the default parser for Hugo) support definition lists.
Example syntax:
Apple
: Pomaceous fruit of plants of the genus Malus in
the family Rosaceae.
Orange
: The fruit of an evergreen tree of the genus Citrus.
which renders as:
- Apple
- Pomaceous fruit of plants of the genus Malus in the family Rosaceae.
- Orange
- The fruit of an evergreen tree of the genus Citrus.
This isn’t supported by Github flavoured Markdown yet.
