This is using the HTML "Unordered List" tagging:
   <UL><LI>...</LI> ... </UL>

Now you have switched to "Description List" tagging
   <DL><DD>...</DD> ... </DL>
since there is no other way in HTML to get a list structure.

You will have to do this using CSS rules.
Sorry, I cannot tell you more than this, except that it
should be possible to set rules to individual environments.
But you will need to consult online CSS documentation,
and do a fair bit of experimentation to determine what kind
of rules work for your specific situation.
