Hi list,
I'm marking up a chat board, and I'm wondering how I should tag the actual
message? The message would typically be:
NickName says:
Ain't this cool?

I was thinking a DL, like this:

<dl>
    <dt>NickName says:</dt>
    <dd>Ain't this cool?</dd>
</dl>

Using dl for marking up dialogue is generally frowned upon because dl is widely considered to be for marking up definitions. Tantek has provided a more semantic example of in a old presentation of his.

See "XHTML Compound: Conversation".
