Definition Lists
Definition lists are a little bit different from the other kinds of lists, but they're similar. The purpose of a definition list is to create—surprise, surprise—a list of definitions of terms. Here's what a definition list with two terms looks like:
- Curious
- Eager to learn more; Unduly inquisitive; prying; arousing interest because of novelty or strangeness.
- Cat
- A small carnivorous mammal (Felis catus or F. domesticus) domesticated since early times as a catcher of rats and mice and as a pet and existing in several distinctive breeds and varieties.
Here's what the code looks like:
<dl>
<dt>Curious</dt>
<dd>Eager to learn more; Unduly inquisitive; prying;
arousing interest because of novelty or strangeness.</dd>
<dt>Cat</dt>
<dd>A small carnivorous mammal (<em>Felis catus or F. domesticus</em>)
domesticated since early times as a catcher of rats and mice and as a pet
and existing in several distinctive breeds and varieties.</dd>
</dl>
<dl> means "definition list"
<dt> means "definition term"
<dd> means "definition description"
