`markdown.extensions.def_list` not rendering correctly

Question

I tried inserting a definition list in my contents.lr file.

Tables are working fine but the definition lists are not handled correctly.

Example taken from https://pythonhosted.org/Markdown/extensions/index.html

Apple
:   Pomaceous fruit of plants of the genus Malus in
    the family Rosaceae.
Orange
:   The fruit of an evergreen tree of the genus Citrus.

Rendering the string directly with markdown works:

markdown.markdown(s, extensions=['markdown.extensions.def_list'])

I couldn't find it documented anywhere, but with a quick look at the source code, it appears that Lektor uses the Mistune Markdown parser, which does not support definition lists.

I'd suggest filing a bug report with Lektor, asking them to document what Markdown features they support and how to alter them.
