Title: Definition lists --- Markdown supports a special list format called a definition lists. It consists of a term and an explanation, like in a dictionary. To create a definition list, we write a term in the first line, and in the next one, we put a definition followed by `:` and some spaces. ~~~ Apple : Fruit of the apple tree. Orange : Citrus fruit, a type of berry. ~~~ > Apple > : Fruit of the apple tree. > > Orange > : Citrus fruit, a type of berry. Definition lists support a group of explanations to the same term or a couple of terms to one explanation: ~~~ Word : Unit of language that builds phrases. : Fixed-size unit of bits that creates a natural data unit in computers. TF TypeFriendly : A nice documentation generator written in PHP. ~~~ > Word > : Unit of language that builds phrases. > : Fixed-size unit of bits that creates a natural data unit in computers. > > TF > TypeFriendly > : A nice documentation generator written in PHP. Separating the definitions from terms with one empty line will enclose them into paragraphs. ~~~ Apple : Fruit of the apple tree. Orange : Citrus fruit, a type of berry. ~~~ > Apple > > : Fruit of the apple tree. > > Banana > > : Citrus fruit, a type of berry. Like the ordinary lists, the definition lists may contain other block elements, such as paragraphs or code blocks. They must be followed by four spaces or a tabulation. ~~~ Term 1 : This is a definition with two paragraphs. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. Aliquam hendrerit mi posuere lectus. Vestibulum enim wisi, viverra nec, fringilla in, laoreet vitae, risus. : The second defintion for the term 1 is also placed inside a paragraph, because it is followed with an empty line. Term 2 : This definition contains a code block and an ordered list: some code 1. element 1 2. element 2 ~~~ > Term 1 > > : This is a definition with two paragraphs. Lorem ipsum > dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. Aliquam > hendrerit mi posuere lectus. > > Vestibulum enim wisi, viverra nec, fringilla in, laoreet > vitae, risus. > > : The second defintion for the term 1 is also placed inside a > paragraph, because it is followed with an empty line. > > Term 2 > > : This definition contains a code block and an ordered list: > > some code > > 1. element 1 > 2. element 2 > [warning] > Pay attention to the number of spaces in the beginning of each line.
