<dd> Tag in HTML

The <dd> tag is used within a <dl> (description list) to define the description or details of a term specified by the <dt> tag. The <dd> tag provides additional information related to each term in the list.

Key Points on <dd> Tag:

• The <dd> tag is always used inside a <dl> element.
• Each <dt> (definition term) is typically followed by a <dd> (definition description) to give a description or explanation of the term.
• It’s commonly used to create glossary-style lists, FAQs, or any scenario where a term-description structure is needed.

Syntax of <dd> Tag:

<dl>
            <dt>Term</dt>
            <dd>Description of the term</dd>
        </dl>
                

Example of <dd> Tag in HTML:

This example demonstrates how to create a description list using <dt> and <dd> tags.

<dl>
    <dt>HTML</dt>
    <dd>A markup language for creating web pages.</dd>
    <dt>CSS</dt>
    <dd>A style sheet language used to define the look and formatting of a document.</dd>
    <dt>JavaScript</dt>
    <dd>A programming language commonly used in web development for interactivity.</dd>
</dl>
        

The <dd> tag is most effective for creating structured lists where each term needs a definition or detailed explanation, making it an ideal choice for glossaries, dictionaries, and FAQs.
