Definition lists (definition-list)

Ensure each term is marked as <dt> and each definition as <dd> within a <dl> to maintain a semantic term-definition pairing.


Missing dt element:

In this example, the <dt> element lacks a <dl> element to term the definition:


Definition without a term:

The (DOM/programmatic) structure of the above example looks like this:

<dl>
<dd>Definition without a term</dd>
</dl>

Note: Impossible to automatically test or detect. Requires a human tester or AI to verify that definition also have corresponding terms.
