Request: Support for Description Lists

[chrisalley]

What would be required to add support for description lists to Commonmarker? Description lists are a common extension to Markdown, usually using the Markdown Extra syntax.

Hi -- since this would be an addition to the formal Commonmark spec, I suggest opening it over where the development of that spec occurs: https://github.com/github/cmark-gfm

The intent of this repository is to just prove a single Ruby wrapper for the existing C code. It does not add any features that do not already exist in github/cmark-gfm.

Alternative, you are free to create your own custom renderer as a plugin/add-on: https://github.com/gjtorikian/commonmarker#creating-a-custom-renderer
