Renders wiki syntax as a definition list. Does not allow any HTML tags.
This macro allows users to write definition lists in a wiki syntax like this:
Every term and data has to be on one line. The line has to start with a semi-colon (';'). The first colon (':') separates the definition term from the definition data.
This is the rendered result:
In contrast to the Definition List Macro this macro makes it easier to edit short lists with text-only data.
Please note that this macro does not allow any markup to highlight parts of the text. This is similar to the Confluence HTML Macro to prevent cross-site-scripting attacks.
You want to use HTML markup? If you work with a team of trusted Confluence users so that cross-site-scripting vulnerability is not an issue for your installation, you may want to use the Compact Definition List Macro.

Please go to your Add-on Management and enable the macro on demand.
Choose the appropriate version to meet your security constraints:
- If you have users you cannot trust, choose the No-HTML version to not make your Confluence server vulnerable to cross-site-scripting attacks.
- If you trust your users, e.g. you also activated the Confluence HTML Macro, you may choose to enable the HTML version to allow markup in the content.
