3: LISTS > DEFINITION LISTS
DEFINITION LISTS
<dl>
The definition list is created with the <d1> element and usually consists of a series of terms and their definitions.
Inside the <d1> element you will usually see pairs of <dt> and <dd> elements.
<dt>
This is used to contain the term being defined (the definition term).
<dd>
This is used to contain the definition.
Sometimes you might see a list where there are two terms used for the same definition or two different definitions for the same term.
