Lists: Create a Definition List

Overview	The easiest way to order information on a web page is to create a list. The definition list is used to create a glossary of terms or to add a brief description to each list item. In a definition list, the list item is followed by an indented definition of or comment on the item.
Example	Terminology of Type Ascender The stroke that protrudes above the letter body Descender The stroke that protrudes below the letter body Counter The enclosed space in the letter body Leading The space between words or lines of type
	To create a definition list with Dreamweaver, Insert your cursor in the location where you want to begin your list. Choose Text, List, Definition List from the menu bar.

	Type your first list term. Press the Enter key. Your cursor will move to the next line and indent. Type your definition. Press the Enter key. Your cursor will move to the left margin on the next line. Continue creating your list in this fashion until you are finished.
	To end your definition list, hit the Enter key twice.
	Note: You can access the Definition List command from the main menu, and then begin to type your list. Or you can type a series of items, highlight the items, and then access the Definition List command to apply the list style to your existing text.
