HTML Definition List

• Definition List is also known as Description List.
• Definition List works the same as a dictionary works.
• Dictionary is used for describing the term similarly in HTML we use a Definition List or Description List to define a term.

Syntext:

<dl>
// Content
<dl/>

For terms/names, we use <dt> tag.

Syntext:

<dl>
<dt>
// defintion Term
</dt>
</dl>

For describing terms/names, we use <dd> tag.

Syntext:

<dl>
    <dd>// defintion Term</dd>
    <dd>// defintion Term</dd>
</dl>

Let's see an example now:

Syntext:

<dl>
    <dt>Happiness</dt>
    <dd>a state of well-being and contentment : joy</dd>
    <dt>Sorrow</dt>
    <dd>a feeling of great sadness because something bad has happened</dd>
</dl>
