Definition Lists
Backlog supports definition lists similar to the one supported by PHP Markdown Extra.
A row of terms followed by rows with colons (:) and the definition of that term translates into a definition list.
One term can have multiple definitions associated with it.

* [x] Item-B
* [ ] Item-B-1
* [ ] Item-B-2-a
