Description lists in HTML

Term and definition pairs: glossaries, metadata, key-value detail.

<dl>
  <dt>tour</dt>
  <dd>An ordered run of sets for one language.</dd>
  <dt>set</dt>
  <dd>A themed group of steps inside a tour.</dd>
  <dt>encore</dt>
  <dd>The complete programs that close a tour.</dd>
</dl>

How it works

1. dt is the term, dd the description that follows it.
2. One term may take several descriptions, and the reverse.
3. This is the right element for a specification table of fields.
