Description List

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>

Live demo

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>
