Alongside ordered and unordered lists, HTML has a third list type built specifically for a list of terms and their descriptions — a glossary, an FAQ, a set of metadata.
| Tag | Meaning |
|---|---|
| <dl> | Description list — the container for the whole list |
| <dt> | Description term — the word or phrase being defined |
| <dd> | Description details — the definition or description itself |
<dl>
<dt>HTML</dt>
<dd>The standard markup language for web pages.</dd>
<dt>CSS</dt>
<dd>The language used to style an HTML document.</dd>
</dl>A single <dt> can be followed by more than one <dd> when a term has several descriptions worth listing separately.
<dl>
