<dl> container CSS: block element start tag required end tag required Sandia Reference

This is a form of annotated listing. It can be used for various forms of format structure, but this is not recommended especially now that style sheets are coming into force.

The <dl> listing takes two additional tags: <dt> (the definition term) and <dd> (the definition description). Examine the following examples:

<dl>

<dd>The Compendium of HTML Elements

The CLEAR attribute allows you to move down unconditionally:" (w3) Alternatively, you can decide to place the figure alongside the figure in the margin just so long as there is enough room. The minimum width needed is specified as "## en" where ##= the number of nutts or ### pixels where ### is the number of pixels.

Some browsers will insert white space between definition items, this attribute will discourage this. Most browsers do not recognize it.
