HTML Tag and Attribute Reference

<DD>

Definition List
The definition list tag introduces a definition list or glossary, which is made up of term (DT) and definition (DD) items. The </DT> and </DD> tags are optional. Typically the definitions are indented under each term, with no blank lines around them. If COMPACT was specified (and the terms are short) the terms and definitions are on the same line. Do not use multiple DD elements for the same DT -- instead use <BR> within the DD.

<DL COMPACT> list entries </DL>

<DEL>

<DEL> . . . </DEL>
The deleted text tag marks text that has been deleted, for example in a group authoring situation or a legal document.

<DFN>

Definition
<DFN> . . . </DFN>

The definition tag defines text that defines a term -- many browsers will display it in italics, though others will ignore it. It can be nested with other idiomatic or typographic tags but some browsers will respect only the innermost tag.

<DIR>

Directory
<DIR> List Entries </DIR>

The directory list tag introduces a directory list, which is made up of List Item (LI) tags and does not include bullets or numbers before them. The items should be short so that they can be arranged into columns. For a bulleted list use UL. For a numbered list use OL. For a list without bullets or numbers that is not arranged into columns use MENU. The COMPACT attribute instructs the browser to reduce the space occupied by the list.

<DIV>

Division
The division tag is used to divide a document up into different sections, such as chapters, sections, abstract, and appendix. The CLASS attribute specifies what section this is. The ALIGN attribute can be one of LEFT, RIGHT, or CENTER. The NOWRAP attribute stops the browser from wrapping except where <BR>'s are included in the document.


<DIV ALIGN=align>
<DIV CLASS=class>
<DIV CLASS=class NOWRAP>
<DIV =clear>
<DIV =lang>
LANG=iso
Indicates the ISO standard language. Enter the standard abbreviation to indicate the language of the element.
