<DT></DT>

Display text as a term to be defined

Element used to mark the term to be defined in a definition list.

	<html>
	<head>
	<title>Glossar</title>
	</head>
	<body>
	   .
	   .
	<dl>
==>>	<dt>A<dd>is for Apple
==>>	<dt>B<dd>is for Baby
	   .
	   .
	</dl>
	   .
	   .
	</body>
	</html>

This rounds out the trio of tags used to build definition lists. The term is left justified. If you want to set it off by bolding it then you've got to do that yourself. The definition of the term, <dd>, is usually indented. This is why I used this element to help format some of my pages.

Nothing special.
