How do we add glossary definitions in HTML?


Use the <dl> tag in HTML to add the glossary definitions. The HTML <dl> tag is used for declaring a definition list. This tag is used within <dd> tag.

A definition list is similar to other lists but in a definition list, each list item contains two entries; a term and a description.

Example

You can try to run the following code to implement <dl> tag −

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
   <head>
      <title>HTML dl Tag</title>
   </head>
   <body>
      <dl>
         <dt>Definition List</dt>
         <dd>A list of terms and their definitions/descriptions.</dd>
         <dt>HTML</dt>
         <dd>An HTML tutorial.</dd>
         <dt>PHP</dt>
         <dd>An PHP tutorial.</dd>
      </dl>
   </body>
</html>
