.The dt
element represents
the term, or name, part of a term-description group in a
description list (dl
element).
The dt
element itself, when used in a dl
element, does not indicate that its contents
are a term being defined, but this can be indicated using the
dfn
element.
This example shows a list of frequently asked questions (a FAQ)
marked up using the dt
element for questions and the dd
element for answers.
