Description

Description:

Definition lists render in Confluence with a ton of white space which looks only so-so. This might just be confluence, so may just need to be closed if this isn't something we can really improve easily.

Steps to Reproduce:

---
title: Test DL
---

Term
: This is the definition of the term

Expected Result:

Less whitespace

Actual Result:

Lots of whitespace ;-)

Trace whether the extra whitespace is produced by Quarto or Confluence; done means either improving the rendered spacing or documenting that it cannot be changed in this project.
