I added a plain list to my file:
...
- term1 :: this means something
- term2 :: this means something else
- term3 :: and something different still
...
fully expecting the term and the description rendered in HTML to be on
the same line as is shown in the Latex published Org Mode manual. But
the items were rendered as:
...
term1
this means something
term2
this means something else
term3
and something different still
...
I suspect this might be an HTML artifact, nevertheless, how would I
convince org-mode to arrange for the HTML rendering to attempt to keep
the terms and descriptions on the same line? An example or reference
would be much appreciated.
Thanks,

Adding this seems to work:
#+STYLE: <style type="text/css">dt {clear: left; float: left; width: 4em; } </style>

Well it's a start but does have some side effects. For example with
each new entry it becomes more and more apparent that the term and the
description are off center, i.e. the skew becomes more pronounced. But
your solution is much better than mine :-) and gives me a place to
explore and become smarter, always a good thing!
Thanks again,

Don't use a definition list at all:
- *term1* this means something
- *term2* this means something else
- *term3* and something different still

FWIW, this solution is better than using a CSS style based solution but
it had the nit that the bullet (o) is present in the output (of course)
where the description list had no bullet.
After playing around with this a bit I decided that your point, don't
use a description list, is well taken. I wound up using a simple table
instead and got very satisfying results.
Thanks,
