Definition lists in Markdown extra not working

[jokro]

I’m a new user and still learning. I’m trying to use a definition list, i.e.
<dl><dt>Apple</dt><dd>Pomaceous fruit…</dd></dl>

Embedding this as raw html does work.

According to PHP Markdown Extra , there is a Markdown syntax to achieve this, but this doesn’t work for me:

Apple
:   Pomaceous fruit of plants of the genus Malus in
	the family Rosaceae.

Orange
:   The fruit of an evergreen tree of the genus Citrus.

This simply renders as

<p>Apple
:   Pomaceous fruit of plants of the genus Malus in
the family Rosaceae.</p>
<p>Orange
:   The fruit of an evergreen tree of the genus Citrus.</p>

I have enabled Markdown Extra in system.yaml:

pages:
  markdown:
    extra: true

Am I doing something wrong, or are definition lists simply not implemented in Grav? It’s not a terrible problem to write them as embedded html, but it’s a bit tedious. The Markdown syntax would be simpler.

it looks “pre” tag is better for that to me

The intended outcome is something like this:

i just created a new page named test and write this

Apple
: Pomaceous fruit of plants of the genus Malus in 
  the family Rosaceae.
: An American computer company.

Orange
: The fruit of an evergreen tree of the genus Citrus.

and save page

and went to configurations and clicked yes for markdown extra

when i reload test page i see this at source

<dl>
<dt>Apple</dt>
<dd>Pomaceous fruit of plants of the genus Malus in
the family Rosaceae.</dd>
<dd>An American computer company.</dd>
<dt>Orange</dt>
<dd>The fruit of an evergreen tree of the genus Citrus.</dd>
</dl>

ss is this

to make dt bold we can use css and while we are at it we can increase line height etc.

Ugh.. i just realized i used apple as an example… i dont like it much actually since it is closed source…

Thanks for checking that. I’ll have another look, I currently use the config files not the admin plugin to set enable markdown extra, maybe this is not working for some reason.

[jokro]

Indeed it works for me now. I had overlooked a second place in system.yaml setting markdown: extra: false, which apparently took precedence. Thanks again for sending me in the right direction!
