I think that definition lists would be appropriate semantically but in the real world I don't know of any user agent that does anything useful with a definition list or any user group that derives any benefit from them. Certainly they make no sense when read with a screen reader because you cannot differentiate one list item from the next. I would therefore use heading and paragraphs. As ever, your decision depends on your motivation. If you care only about semantic purity and don't care about the user experience, go ahead and use a definition list. If you do care about the user experience, use headings. Steve
_____ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Tim MacKay Sent: 09 January 2008 03:49 To: wsg@webstandardsgroup.org Subject: [WSG] semantic list with explanations Hello all, Just looking for a little help. I'm creating a sort of 'point form' list that goes a bit like this: 1. Pursuit of customer satisfaction "We promise to pursue customer satisfaction as our main point of customer focus.blah blah blah.." 2. Pursuit of customer loyalty "We promise to pursue customer loyalty as our secondary point of customer focus.blah blah blah.." What is the best way to semantically mark this up? My first guess would be an ordered list but the definitions underneath don't really allow for it. A definition list doesn't seem very appropriate either because of the wordiness of the explanations; to me a true definition list would only be a few words. Any thoughts?
