[Orgmode] Re: Preventing line breaks in (HTML) published description lists

 I added a plain list to my file:

 ...
   - term1 :: this means something
   - term2 :: this means something else
   - term3 :: and something different still
 ...

 fully expecting the term and the description rendered in HTML to be on
 the same line as is shown in the Latex published Org Mode manual.  But
 the items were rendered as:

 ...
   term1
   this means something
   term2
   this means something else
   term3
   and something different still
 ...

 I suspect this might be an HTML artifact, nevertheless, how would I
 convince org-mode to arrange for the HTML rendering to attempt to keep
 the terms and descriptions on the same line?  An example or reference
 would be much appreciated.

 Thanks,

Adding this seems to work:

#+STYLE: style type=text/cssdt {clear: left; float: left; width: 4em; } 
/style

Well it's a start but does have some side effects.  For example with 
each new entry it becomes more and more apparent that the term and the 
description are off center, i.e. the skew becomes more pronounced.  But 
your solution is much better than mine :-) and gives me a place to 
explore and become smarter, always a good thing!


Thanks again,
