A definition list is not a list of items. This is a list of terms and explanation of the terms. A definition list starts with the dl tag. Each definition-list term starts with the dt tag. Each definition-list definition starts with the dd tag.

- Coffee
- Black hot drink
- Milk
- White cold drink
Inside a definition-list definition – dd tags – you can put paragraphs, line breaks, images, links, other lists, etc.
