The main thing I'm not sure about here is the reference to Quarto 2. Should we include a link to the repo or just leave it as is? It might be the first official reference to "Quarto 2" in the docs. |

A `.definition-list` div holding one bullet list of terms, each followed by a nested bullet list of definitions, now renders as a DefinitionList. Quarto 2 uses this syntax in place of Pandoc's `term` / `: definition` form, so authors can adopt it before upgrading to Quarto 2. Divs with any other shape are left untouched, and the div's attributes are dropped because DefinitionList has no Attr. - Add a `definitionlist` module, registered in `_quarto.modules` - Run it as an astpipeline pass right after the list-table pass, so it runs before crossrefs and user filters See #13528 for the list-table precedent See quarto-dev/quarto-web#2305 for the documentation
