+Definition Lists
+================
+
+Summary
+-------
+
+The Definition Lists extension adds the ability to create definition lists in
+Markdown documents.
+
+This extension is included in the standard Markdown library.

+
+Definition lists are defined using the syntax established in

+
+Thus, the following text (taken from the above referenced PHP documentation):

+:   Pomaceous fruit of plants of the genus Malus in
+    the family Rosaceae.
+
+Orange
+:   The fruit of an evergreen tree of the genus Citrus.
+```
+
+will be rendered as:
+
+```html
+<dl>
+<dt>Apple</dt>
+<dd>Pomaceous fruit of plants of the genus Malus in
+the family Rosaceae.</dd>
+
+<dt>Orange</dt>
+<dd>The fruit of an evergreen tree of the genus Citrus.</dd>
+</dl>
+```
+
