+In a description list, you make your own tags for each item instead
+of the automatically generated bullts or numbers.
+The tags for each item go in the <code>tag</code> attribute of the
+<code>item</code> element.
+So, repeating the above list as a description list:
+
+<verbatim>
+<description>
+ <item tag='itemize'> for bulleted lists such as this one.</item>
+ <item tag='enumerate'> for numbered lists.</item>
+ <item tag='description'> for tagged lists.</item>
+</description>
+</verbatim>
+
+Which creates the following output:
+
+<description>
+<item tag='itemize'> for bulleted lists.</item>
+<item tag='enumerate'> for numbered lists.</item>
+<item tag='description'> for tagged lists such as this one.</item>
+</description>
+
+An item can contain inline content as well as block-level content.
