HTML Description List
HTML Description List (DL) is a type of HTML markup used to create a list of terms and their corresponding definitions. It is also referred to as a definition list. The DL element is defined using HTML tags <dl>
and </dl>
. Each term and its corresponding definition are enclosed by the <dt>
and </dt>
tags and the <dd>
and </dd>
tags, respectively.
For example, the following HTML code creates a description list with three terms and their corresponding definitions:
<dl>
<dt>Term 1</dt>
<dd>Definition 1</dd>
<dt>Term 2</dt>
<dd>Definition 2</dd>
<dt>Term 3</dt>
<dd>Definition 3</dd>
</dl>
When this code is rendered in a web browser, it will display as:
Term 1 : Definition 1
Term 2 : Definition 2
Term 3 : Definition 3
The appearance of the terms and definitions can be customized using CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) to match the design of the website.
