DESCRIPTION LISTS
A description list is not a list of items. We can use this type of list formatting for defining terms on
a web page. It is also called a definition list. A description list is enclosed within the <DL> ... </DL>
tag. It contains the following tags:
<DL> tag (Definition List): This tag marks the beginning of the definition list.
<DT> tag (Data Term): This tag defines the names or terms.
<DD> tag (Data Definition): This tag describes each item in the description list.
Write HTML code to print a description list.
