Definition Lists

Definition Lists

The dl element gets the ball rolling, similar to the ul and ol elements, establishing the list. Rather than there being an li element though, definition lists have a dt element, which is the definition term, followed by a dd element which is a definition description associated to the dt element.

There doesn't have to be one dt followed by one dd, there can be any number of either. For example, if there are a number of words that have the same meaning, there might be a number of dt's followed by one dd. If you have one word that means various different things, there might be one dt followed by several dd's.



For example:
<h1>Some random glossary thing</h1>
<dl>
    <dt>HTML</dt>
    <dd>Abbreviation for HyperText Markup Language - a language used to make web pages.</dd>

    <dt>Dog</dt>
    <dd>Any carnivorous animal belonging to the family Canidae.</dd>
    <dd>The domesticated sub-species of the family Canidae, Canis lupus familiaris.</dd>

    <dt>Moo juice</dt>
    <dt>Cat beer</dt>
    <dt>Milk</dt>
    <dd>A white liquid produced by cows and used for human consumption.</dd>
</dl>
