Hi Jeremy 1. A dt <http://www.w3.org/TR/html5/grouping-content.html#the-dt-element> element's end tag <http://www.w3.org/TR/html5/syntax.html#syntax-end-tag> may be omitted if the dt <http://www.w3.org/TR/html5/grouping-content.html#the-dt-element> element is immediately followed by another dt <http://www.w3.org/TR/html5/grouping-content.html#the-dt-element> element or a dd <http://www.w3.org/TR/html5/grouping-content.html#the-dd-element> element. 2. A dd <http://www.w3.org/TR/html5/grouping-content.html#the-dd-element> element's end tag <http://www.w3.org/TR/html5/syntax.html#syntax-end-tag> may be omitted if the dd <http://www.w3.org/TR/html5/grouping-content.html#the-dd-element> element is immediately followed by another dd <http://www.w3.org/TR/html5/grouping-content.html#the-dd-element> element or a dt <http://www.w3.org/TR/html5/grouping-content.html#the-dt-element> element, or if there is no more content in the parent element.
This should be valid syntax which might lead to simplified wikification scheme without the need for the trailing tags that result in spurious blank lines: <dl> <dt> Authors <dd> John <dd> Luke <dt> Editor <dd> Frank </dl> Unfortunately this doesn't render correctly in TW and I am unable, therefore, to experiment further. regards On Wednesday, July 9, 2014 12:39:41 PM UTC+2, Jeremy Ruston wrote: > > Hi Matabele > > >> It appears that <dd> elements may be used on their own (at least in the >> text field of TW5.)
