What is Definition Lists?
Definition lists in HTML are used to present terms and their corresponding definitions. They are structured using three main elements: <dl> (definition list), <dt> (definition term), and <dd> (definition description). The <dl> element acts as the container for the entire list, while each term is marked with <dt> and its associated description is enclosed within <dd>. This structure allows for a clear and organized presentation of terms and their meanings.
