1.5 Definition Lists
Definition Lists are for giving a definition
to a term, as a dictionary does. To create a Definition List,
use the <DL> tag. It is similar to <OL> and <UL>
in that it is a container tag, and an additional tag must
be used to display information in it's format. To display
information in Definition format, use the <DT> and <DD>
tags. <DT> is the term, <DD> is the definition.
Here is an example:
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>

</HEAD>

<DD>Hyper Text Markup Language
<DT>HTTP
