dd

Definition and Usage

The <dd> tag is used to describe a term/name in a description list. The <dd> tag is used in conjunction with <dl> (defines a description list) and <dt> (defines terms/names). Inside a <dd> tag you can put paragraphs, line breaks, images, links, lists, etc.  <DD>The definition description element contains data that describes a definition term. This data may be either inline, or it may be block level.

The dd is the second part of the dt: dd pairing that constitutes an item in a definition list (dl). While the dt contains the term to be defined, the dd section of the pairing contains the definition description content.

You can use multiple dt and multiple dd elements to describe the dt elements. Thedd element also differs from the dt in that it can contain Block-level elements such as example headings and paragraphs.
