[Docs] Use <dl> for definition lists of variables Hopefully making them more semantic and easier to read, though it is raw HTML so it is slightly more work to maintain. Also made minor revisions to some of the variable descriptions to be more informative, e.g. `:monthname` in permalinks use full English names ("January" etc.)
