Ahh good. The html looks good too. And if the trail is enabled it will
work very well. We could add bullets if wanted via css I guess.

You convinced me the a table is not a good container for a list.

And if it is written as definition list, there may be various ways of
displaying it, without changing the page content. For instance
displaying the 'definition' only when the mouse goes over the 'term'.
Not that I want this for the cookbook, just thinking...

So how can one visually make it easier to see what definition belongs
to what term? Can alternate rows have a different background, like
ledger paper? Or little dots  TERM  .............. DEFINITION
all controlled via css style?

Best,
