What I'd like yo have are other kinds of lists. Like definition lists.
It's called a "variable list" and it's in there. :-)

[[item1] [definition 1]]
[[item2] [definition 2]]

Except that has a loaded meaning, and a prefered rendering, on the
BoostBook->DocBook->HTML translation. I want "real" definition" lists.
Ones that can be styled to represent a term+definition. And not a
variable+value, which gets rendered as two columns of
all-italic-text/regular-text. I've had to resort to tables on the bjam
docs to avoid that result: (OK I was going to put a reference to the
docs here. But the nightly build of those doesn't seem to be nightly any
more.) When I'd rather have no columns.
I'm not sure what you mean. "Variable lists" *are* real definition
lists. That's just the DocBook terminology. Check out the HTML that gets
generated for them; it's all <dl>, <dt> and <dd>. How it's displayed is
just a matter of the CSS. If you don't like it, use your own CSS.
