Definition list
Pair a term with one or more values — a glossary entry, contact details, or page metadata — using semantic definition-list markup.
What it is
A definition list pairs a term with one or more values — a glossary entry, a set of contact details, metadata about a page. Each term is a definition; a term can have several values (for example a street address split across two lines). It uses the semantic HTML definition-list elements, so assistive technology announces the term-and-value structure.
How to add it
Add a Definition list block, then add a definition for each term. Type the term, then add one or more values beneath it — each value becomes a separate line under that term.
Configure it
Tips
Keep terms short and consistent — a definition list is for scanning, not for prose.
Give a term more than one value only when the values genuinely belong together (address lines, alternative phone numbers); otherwise use a separate definition.
