Description:
The HTML dt tag is used to define the start of a term in a definition list.
A definition list is similar to other lists but in a definition list, each list item contains two entries: a term and a description.
The <dt> tag defines a term/name in a description list.
The <dt> tag is used in conjunction with <dl> (defines a description list) and <dd> (describes each term/name).
