XHTML: Definition Lists – Misused or Misunderstood?
October 8th, 2007 by Jerome DahdahMax Design asks the question that I keep asking myself: “What are definition lists? When are they appropriate?” and then explains how to style them to look like tables, image galleries, calendar of events and more.

Interesting, I on rare occasion have seen them and wondered what they were. Now I know what they are and how to implement them.
Thanks

From a technical perspective, dl’s make a lot of sense in all of the applications mentioned in the article. I especially like the dialogue and image/description examples.
I believe that Web Designers (R) should be required to write a few articles, maybe a short paper, in LaTex, to get more familiar with this kind of semantic markup.

Hi Simon, thanks for your feedback. Could you elaborate on why you would do it in LaTex?
