Add support for Definition Lists

Also, seems there is a consilience of need for this type of function across multiple topics and threads.

Definition lists, asides, annotations, descriptions, disambiguations, references, etc. all requesting this very function:

• the ability to provide in-line, readable, UI-friendly, and linkable meta-descriptions about a singular term, at the instance of its use.

See similar topics:

• Nesting functional links within link names
• Plugin to match pre-existing wiki links to pre-existing aliases of the same name
• Disambiguiting mutiple files with the same name
• Differentiate between navigation links and relationship links
• Auto-completion for certain frontmatter keys (aliases, tags, etc)
• Aliases for note names - #80 by argentum
• Can I Replicate This Critical Roam Research Feature?
• Magic, “One Click,” Dynalist search results—Yes!
• Handling nested links (different from nested tags)

Is there another way of understanding this long-unsolved need?

Also, Gwern!

@discmem

Gwern has one of the most interesting websites in terms of formatting, structuring and persistence (besides content).

Gwern describes his approach to the site here .

In particular, note that if we add ‘.page’ to a page, it serves you its markdown (example: www.gwern.net/About.page

Each note/page has a header with meta-data fields such as title, tags, confidence, importance, etc.

Is it possible to have this setup on obsidian, with a header for meta-data?
Could we then preview it in a similar fashion to gwern’s?

It seems there’s either a solution that others use natively, or a disconnect in the understanding of potential value that must explain why this is such a neglected topic/function?
