I'll check these out (and the link that Herbert suggested).

It seems to me, (after a total of 5 minutes of thinking about it ;) that 
  you could use a combination of pre- and post-processors.  The 
pre-processor would turn a line that preceeds a line that starts with a 
colon (should be easy enough to find, just get lines[index-1]) into 
something more recognizable for the parser, and the post processor could 
turn those things into dt/dd sets.  Actually, I think you could just 
turn them into lines of the form "<dt>...</dt>" and "<dd>...</dd>".

Thanks,
Blake.
