====== 8.1.3. Tag definition lists with <dl>, <dt> and <dd> ======

Use the ''<dl>'', ''<dt>'' and ''<dd>'' tags to tag definition lists (in a glossary, for example). 

You can associate several definitions with a single term by following the procedure below:

<code html>

<dl>
    <dt>Term 1</dt>
    <dd>Definition of term 1.</dd>
    <dt>Term 2</dt>
    <dt>1. First definition of term 2.</dt>
    <dt>2. Second definition of term 2.</dt>
</dl>

</code>

<note html5>**HTML5**

The HTML5 specification extends the role of the standard definition list to a broader one of a list of descriptions. With HTML5 you can use ''<dl>'', ''<dt>'' and ''<dd>'' to tag any groups of key/value pairs (product sheet, publication details of an article, etc.).

<code html>

<h2>Conference on sustainable development </h2>
<dl>
    <dt>Place</dt>
    <dd>London</dd>
    <dt>Date</dt>
    <dd>Saturday 29 September 2012</dd>
    <dt>Time</dt>
    <dd>From 10:00 a.m. </dd>
</dl>
