Hi Eric,


I think long descriptions are _very_ unusual (it's called "definition
list" (<dl>) in HTML and "definition term" (<dt>).

I used to do this here, before those lists were supported directly in
Org-mode:

  - *Bold longish term* \\
    Description of the bold longish term.


I bound this function to a key:


(defun sr-insert-org-dd-item ()
  (interactive)
  (let  ( (in (read-from-minibuffer "Definition list DT item: ")) )
    (newline-and-indent)
    (insert (concat "+ *" in "* \\\\"))
    (newline-and-indent)))




I remember I had to set `org-plain-list-ordered-item-terminator' to `t'
to make this work correctly.


This was added in 2008-02-25 and removed, when Carsten added the support
for the definition lists. And I never missed it.



  Sebastian
