Describe the feature you'd like

Being able to write definition lists in my documentation would be very handy. This style would be really nice. This idea is mentioned in #1057

Describe the benefits this would bring to existing BookStack users

Documentation often deals with lists of definitions. This style is visually appealing and communicates clear intent.

Can the goal of this request already be achieved via other means?

currently I've been doing definitions like this:

Term: my long winded definition

Have you searched for an existing open/closed issue?

I have searched for existing issues and none cover my fundamental request

How long have you been using BookStack?

Not using yet, just scoping
