Finally get rid of the "overflow: auto" property of ".Bl-tag > dd"
which has long been know to cause ugly and pointless scroll bars.
Matthew Martin <phy1729 at gmail dot com>
helpfully explained the following two points to me:
1. What we need to do here is establish a new block formatting
context such that the first line of the <dd> content moves down
rather than to the right if the preceding <dt> is wide.
2. A comprehensive list of methods
to establish block formatting context is available in:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Guide/CSS/Block_formatting_context
In that list, i found that "column-count: 1" does the job.
It is part of CSS Multi-column Layout Level 1.
While that is still in Working Draft status according to
https://www.w3.org/Style/CSS/current-work ,
it is fully supported by all browsers according to
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/column-count ,
probably because it was already part of the second draft of this
standard almost 20 years ago: WD-css3-multicol-20010118.
