DESCRIPTION LISTS
HTML description list is used to arrange terms or names with a description the same way as they are arranged in a dictionary.
To create a description list, we use the <dl> tag. This tag comes in pairs.
In <dl>, we use <dt> tags for a term/name in a description list and <dd> for a description of a term/name in a description list. Take a look at the example below:
Example
<dl>
<dt> house </dt>
<dd> two bedroom own comound </dd>
<dt> car </dt>
<dd> Toyota vitz yellow in colour </dd>
</dl>
Review what we have learnt so far about Lists
Lists are usually numbered or bulleted. HTML lists are nested.
<ol>…</ol> Ordered list tag
<ul>…</ul> Unordered list tag
<li>…</li> Listed items tag
We also have another list called the description list <dl>…</dl>. In html the <dt> description title and <dd> description data are nested.
