Inserting Definition Lists

Definition lists typically consist of two parts: terms and descriptions.

About this task

Typically, definition lists are used for terms and descriptions; however, you can use them to associate any items with a direct relationship to each other.

You can insert a definition list in the structure only where it is valid according to the XML schema.

Procedure

  1. Ensure that the focus (cursor) is in a location where you can insert a list.
  2. Click the Definition List command on the Insert tab.
    Elements are created for the first pair of term and definition.
  3. Type a term and definition, and optionally add extra terms for a given definition, or extra definitions for a given term.
  4. To continue adding list entries consisting of a term plus its definition, click Definition List > Insert Entry in the breadcrumb trail above the editing pane.
