possible solution to the classic definition list problem in HTML...

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0//EN">
<HTML>
  <HEAD>
    <TITLE>A compact box example</TITLE>
    <STYLE type="text/css">
      DT { display: compact }
      DD { margin-left: 4em }
    </STYLE>
  </HEAD>
  <BODY>
    <DL>
      <DT>Short
        <DD><P>Description goes here.
      <DT>too long for the margin
        <DD><P>Description goes here.
    </DL>
  </BODY>
</HTML>

This example might be formatted as:

short    Description goes here

too long for the margin
         Description goes here
