A well hidden, rarely used piece of XHTML (well at least I’ve never used it). The Definition List, similiar to the <OL> and the <UL>, allows you to create lists like the ones in a dictionary or a bibliography.

If you type this:

<dl>
<dt>Dog</dt>
<dd>man’s best friend</dd>
</dl>

it will display:

Dog

man’s best friend

Kinda neat, eh?

DL

DT

DD

Its usefulness seems pretty limited but it’s still cool.
