Subject: information/feature request: org analog to latex \description environment
Date: Tue, 09 Sep 2008 12:42:56 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <87od2xw1fj.fsf@gmail.com> (raw)

Does org currently support any syntax like the latex \desciption
environment, something that would look like

,----
| first: a description/definition of first
| another: another item to be defined
`----

or

,----
| - first: a description/definition of first
| - another: another item to be defined
`----

in org, and would export to something like

,----
| \begin{description}
| \item[first] a description/definition of first
| \item[another] another item to be defined
| \end{description}
`----

in latex?  If not would it be difficult/desirable to add?

Thanks -- Eric
