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,
