Hi,

I'm attempting to write a single page glossary on my site, and I'm using definition lists to do so. When the definitions fit on a single line it works, but if they wrap or cover more than one line, the formatting is messed up.

[Standard Library](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_library)
:   A standard library is the library made available across implementations 
    of a programming language. It typically include definitions for commonly 
    used algorithms, data structures, and mechanisms for input and output and 
    other operating system calls.

[TCP/IP](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_protocol_suite)
:   Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol: communication protocols used to connect network devices.

You can see this in example that the words and definitions don't line up properly. I've tried soft and hard line line wraps in the markdown and it doesn't make any difference.
