Definition Lists
- Definition lists allow you to create lists that are more like
glossary entries than hierarchies.
- The basic definition list involves four tags
- The <DL> tag is used to open a definition list. The
<DT> tag is used to signify a definition term, the <DD> tag
is used to signify a definition term description, and the </DL>
tag is used to end the list.
- For example, the following code could be used to create a
definition list:
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Definition Lists</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<B>Food</B>
<DL>
<DT>Vegetables
<DD>Vegetables are very good for you. They
contain all sorts of essential vitamins. Of course,
they taste terrible, so any self-respecting cyborg would
take vitamins instead.
<DT>Meat
<DD>Meat contains lots of proteins that your
body needs. Of course, in the modern world, the
way we get meat to the grocery store is exceptionally
immoral. You'll just have to make the decision for
yourself.
</DL>
</BODY>
</HTML>
- The previous code would produce the following HTML list.
Food
- Vegetables
- Vegetables are very good for you. They contain all sorts
of essential vitamins. Of course, they taste terrible, so any
self-respecting cyborg would take vitamins instead.
- Meat
- Meat contains lots of proteins that your body needs. Of
course, in the modern world, the way we get meat to the grocery
store is exceptionally immoral. You'll just have to make the
decision for yourself.
