HTML Description Lists

Learn how to create semantic description lists in HTML using <dl>, <dt>, and <dd> tags for structured term-definition pairs.

HTML also supports description lists.

A description list is a list of terms, with a description of each term.

The <dl> tag defines the description list, the <dt> tag defines the term (name), and the <dd> tag describes each term:

Example:

<dl>
	<dt>Item</dt>
	<dd>Sub Item</dd>
	<dt>Item</dt>
	<dd>Sub Item</dd>
</dl>

Output:
