Markdown-it Definition List Plugin

markdown-it-deflist is a plugin for the popular markdown-it markdown parser, enabling support for definition lists (`<dl>` HTML tags) based on the Pandoc definition list syntax. The current stable version is 3.0.0, released approximately two years ago. While `markdown-it` itself has a more frequent release cadence to address CommonMark specification updates and security fixes, its plugins like `markdown-it-deflist` typically update less often, primarily for compatibility with new `markdown-it` major versions or to introduce new features. As the official definition list plugin, its key differentiator is its seamless integration into the `markdown-it` ecosystem, providing a standardized way to render definition lists where this functionality is not included in the core parser.
