Here's another option that works by displaying the dt and dd inline and then adding a line break after the dd.

dt, dd {
 display: inline;
}
dd:after {
 content:"\a";
 white-space: pre;
}

This is similar to Navaneeth's solution above, but using this approach, the content won't line up as in a table, but the dd will follow the dt immediately on every line regardless of length.
