A description list (or definition list, as it was called before HTML5) can be created with the dl
element. It consists of name-value groups, where the name is given in the dt
element, and the value is given in the dd
element.
<dl>
<dt>name 1</dt>
<dd>value for 1</dd>
<dt>name 2</dt>
<dd>value for 2</dd>
</dl>
A name-value group can have more than one name and/or more than one value (which represent alternatives):
<dl>
<dt>name 1</dt>
<dt>name 2</dt>
<dd>value for 1 and 2</dd>
<dt>name 3</dt>
<dd>value for 3</dd>
<dd>value for 3</dd>
</dl>
