Description

The text that follows :pd. describes the term identified by :pt.. The description formats in the right column, as defined by the values of tsize= and break=. For a description of :parml., see :parml. (Parameter List).

A parameter list can have multiple parameter-term and parameter-description tags; however, each term tag requires a description tag.

Conditions

• The parameter-description tag follows the parameter-term tag.
  
• The parameter-description tag is valid only within a parameter list.

:pd.Plant life in forest
:pt.Orange
:pd.Fruit on tree
:pt.Cow
:pd.Animal on farm
:eparml.
