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.
    


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,
