definition lists in

[oliver-sanders]

Problem

Definition lists are rendered differently when defined within domain documentation.

May be loosely related to #979.

Reproducible Project

Foo
   foo
*Bar*
   bar
``Baz``
   baz

.. py:class:: pub

   Foo
      foo
   *Bar*
      bar
   ``Baz``
      baz

   .. py:method:: qux

      qux

Strangely the definition lists render differently to lower-level objects documented within the domain, are the two styles mixing? The rendering is especially awkward for literals.

I took a look at this page, however, there aren't any definition lists in that reference example. Perhaps it's an unusual thing to do.

Expected Results

I think that definition lists should render the same in both contexts.
