In the HTML beginner tutorial we taught unordered lists and ordered lists, unfortunately, much like Peter Cushing’s Ph.D. Who, custom lists are easily overlooked. Probably because custom lists require more settings and seem to be less useful than unordered and ordered lists. Custom lists are useful when encountering a list of lists of terms and explanations (such as glossary).
The dl element establishes a list like the ul element and the ol element. The difference is that the custom list uses the dt (definition term, definition term) element instead of the li element, followed by the dd (definition description, definition description) element.
It is not limited to a dt and a dd, but arbitrary. For example, if there are many synonyms, one dt may follow many dd. If there is a word with many different meanings, there may be only one dt after many dd.
