The <dt>
HTML element specifies a term in a description or definition list, and as such must be used inside a <dl>
element. It is usually followed by a <dd>
element; however, multiple <dt>
elements in a row indicate several terms that are all defined by the immediate next <dd>
element.
The subsequent <dd>
(Description Details) element provides the definition or other related text associated with the term specified using <dt>
.
