HTML5 has also broadened out the use of the DL:


"The dl element now represents an association list of name-value groups, and is 
no longer said to be appropriate for dialogue."


The dl element represents an association list consisting of zero or more 
name-value groups (a description list). Each group must consist of one or more 
names (dt elements) followed by one or more values (dd elements). Within a 
single dl element, there should not be more than one dt element for each name.

Name-value groups may be terms and definitions, metadata topics and values, 
questions and answers, or any other groups of name-value data.

Your markup should work. For a detailed description, look at

I was going this way but than was a little stumped with the structure.

This look right?



Shipping facility
...


I don't use s much. I'm not sure the above is proper.

Suggestions?

A definition list  is the most semantic approach.

[WSG] What is the best element?

2012-06-01 Thread Tom Livingston 
Hi listers,

I have a graphic map with icons and will have a separate container for
a map icon legend. This legend will consist of each different icon
that appears on the map and NEXT TO each icon, a definition. My
questions is what element(s) would be most appropriate for that
legends.

It could be:


 Shipping facility
...
...
...


or a  instead of s?

What's most semantic and appropriate?

TIA!
