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.
