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.


Non-semantic pairing:

In this example, <div> and <p> elements are used instead of <dl>, <dt>, and <dd> elements, making the term-definition pairing non-semantic:


Term

Definition


Above Term is a <div> element

Above Definition is a <p> element

Note: Impossible to automatically test or detect. Requires a human tester or AI to determine which elements can be considered term-definitions and verify that they use the correct semantic elements.
