<dl> for definition list

A description list consists of a set of term/description groupings. You use three elements to define description lists: the dl, dt, and dd elements.

ElementDescription
dlMarks a description list.
dtMarks a term within a description list.
ddMarks a definition within a description list.

The multiple dd elements can be used for a single dt element, which provide multiple definitions for a single term.
