<definition>

The <definition> tag is a definition-like block for formally introducing a term, object, or notation. It normally contains a <statement> and may also include one or more <notation> elements and an optional <title>.

Use <definition> when the content should stand apart from the surrounding prose and participate in numbering and cross-referencing.
