Description

Actually there is no predefined command \description. Instead, you can use \definedescription to define a command (whose name is arbitrary) to typeset a headword as distinct from its description.

Note: You can use \par to separate the items, but a better idea is to use the startdescription form of the defined instance.


Examples

Example 1

  • \definedescription[description][location=top,headstyle=bold]
    \description{icon}
    An icon is a representation of an action or the name of a computer
    program. Icons are frequently used in operating systems on several
    computer platforms. \par
