DL - definition list

Description

The <DL> tag displays a definition list. A definition list contains terms defined by the DT tag, and definitions which are defined by the DD tag. Normally, terms will be aligned on the left, with each definition indented on a new line, although they can be on the same line if the COMPACT attribute is used.

Syntax

<DD>

Attributes

COMPACT compacts the definition list by placing the DT tag on the same line as the definition defined by the DD tag - if there is room on the line.
The UNIVERSAL ATTRIBUTES can be used with this tag.
