Definition List (Body)

The Definition List style is used for groups of term-definition pairs that occur in the body of the document. This is distinct from Abbreviations (found in the front matter) and Glossary (usually wrapped in the back matter in the XML). A typical use for this style would be a list of explanations of terms used in an equation.

Example
