Below is an example of the definition plugin in action. It is drawn straight from my version of the definition list plugin page.

The plugin has three configuration settings. To change these you will need to edit the plugin script file, syntax.php.

DL_DT

default value ";"

the character used to indicate a definition list term.

DL_DD

default value ":"

the character used to indicate a definition list definition.

DL_FANCY

default value "true"

if set to false the plugin will generate pure definition list mark up only.

if set to true the plugin will generate extra html to enable improved styling of the list. If used with the styles provided this will result in a two column list, with terms on the left, definitions on the right and each definition lining up with its corresponding term.
