===Definition lists===

A series of definitions should use proper formatting for [[~~Wikipedia~~:~~Manual_of_Style_(~~lists~~)#Definition_lists~~|definition lists]]. Definition lists take more space, but are quicker for the reader to scan. Properly formatted definition lists are more [[WP:~~ACCESS~~|accessible]] to people using [[screen ~~reader~~]]s and have a variety of technical benefits related to HTML validation, browser compatibility, and automatic implementation of future style changes. Do not leave blank lines between list items.

The most typical reason for using a definition list is for ~~[[Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style_(glossaries)|~~a glossary]], in which case it is preferable to other formatting styles. Very large definition lists or lists of items whose definitions contain more than one paragraph may be better presented in other formats~~, per [[Wikipedia:GLOSSARIES#Definition_list_wikimarkup]]~~. Definition list formatting is occasionally used for other purposes, such as subdividing large sections (e.g., lengthy [[WP:EL|External links]] or [[WP:~~FURTHERREADING~~|Further reading]] sections).

A ''disease'' is any abnormal condition that impairs normal function, especially [[infectious ~~disease~~]]s, which are clinically evident diseases that result from the presence of [[pathogenic]] microbial agents. ''Illness'' or ''sickness'' are usually synonyms for ''disease'', except when used to refer specifically to the patient's personal experience of their disease. ''Medical condition'' is a broad term that includes all diseases and disorders, but can also include [[injuries]] and normal health situations, such as [[pregnancy]], that might affect a person's health, benefit from medical assistance, or have implications for medical treatments.
