HTML>HTML Lsts>Definition Lists
A definition list is a list of terms and explanation of the terms. I used a definition list for the Glossary of terms for this website.
A definition list opens with the <dl> tag and closes with the </dl> tag.
Each definition list term starts with the <dt> tag.
Each definition list definition opens with the <dd> tag and closes with the </dd> tag.
Sounds complicated but once you see an example it's easy.
