<def-list>

Definition List

A list in which each item consists of two parts: a word, phrase, term, graphic, chemical structure, or equation paired with one of more descriptions, discussions, explanations, or definitions of it

Remarks

The definition <def> part of an item in a two-part (definition) list need not be a “definition” in the strict dictionary sense of that word. Such a definition could be a discussion, explanation, expansion, or something that tells the reader about the <term>.

Related Elements

A definition list (<def-list>) may start with a <title> that names the entire list, followed by optional column headings for terms and their definitions. (The <term-head> contains the heading over the first (term) column; the <def-head> contains the heading for the second (definition) column. Neither heading contains terms or definitions.) Individual <term> elements and their <def>s are paired inside a <def-item> element.
