Create a definition list
When you want to present a list of terms and definitions, you can add a definition list to your page. Terms are usually displayed flush left, with indented definitions. The exact formatting of the list depends on the web browser that site visitors use.

You can set many other properties for a list, such as margins and text properties, by applying a style to the list or a particular list item. For more information, see Create a style. |
