continued from Cookbook thread...
Maybe it is worth pursuing the idea of an alternative markup for a
definition list, which will be capable of displaying a line of dots
stretching from the 'term' to the 'definition'.
The markup of the definition list is now
: term : definition
: term : definition
: term : definition
etc.
producing html
<dl>
<dt> term </dt><dd> definition </dd>
<dt> term </dt><dd> definition </dd>
<dt> term </dt><dd> definition </dd>
etc.
</dl>
and the styling is done seperately.
could we have a markup which produces
<ul>
<li><dl><dt> term </dt><dd> definition </dd></dl></li>
<li><dl><dt> term </dt><dd> definition </dd></dl></li>
<li><dl><dt> term </dt><dd> definition </dd></dl></li>
etc.
</ul>
?
The markup should be similarly simple as : term : definition,
perhaps :: term :: definition to indicate the more complex form.
Special styling with dotted lines etc. can be applied through
wikistyles
