10. Descriptive Lists |
 |
Descriptive Lists You already know how to create two types of lists: ordered <ol>... </ol> and unordered <ul>...</ul>. It is time to introduce a third variety, the descriptive list. Unlike the lists you have seen earlier, the descriptive list marks its entries not with a bullet marker or a number, but by its pattern of indentation. The format for a descriptive list tag is: |
| |
Descriptive List | |
| HTML | Result | |
|
<dl> <dt> title1 <dd> description1 <dt> title2 <dd> description2 : : : <dt> title<sup>N</sup> <dd> description<sup>N</sup> </dl> |
|
|
| |
The <dl> .... </dl>; tags include alternating pairs of description titles <dt> and descriptions <dd> A Web browser will typically generate the list with each description indented to offset it from the title. Also you can include other ordered/unordered lists within a descriptive list, just like you can include ordered lists within unordered lists. |
