For the list above, no, since if the alignment is kept, like:

, multi-line entries will be rendered as definition list instead. So, these
entries must have hanging indent of two spaces after bullet marker (*),
following alignment of first line of the entry.

Also, these entries must be separated from other entries by a line, otherwise
the list will be broken (rendered inline).

Thanks.
