Definition Lists in HTML 5:

There are three types of list elements employed in HTML 5.  These are:

  • Ordered Lists;
  • Unordered Lists;
  • Definition Lists.

Below is an example of a definition list.  I took the definition of the mathematical term:

‘axiom’

from the Collins English Dictionary.

Example of a Definition List:

axiom (ˈæksɪəm) noun
1
a generally accepted proposition or principle, sanctioned by experience; maxim

2
a universally established principle or law that is not a necessary truth: the axioms of politics

3
a self-evident statement.

4
logic, maths a statement or formula that is stipulated tp be true for the purpose of a chain of reasoning: the foundation of a formal deductive system.  Compare assumption (sense 4)

∙ ETYMOLOGY
C15: from Latin axiōma a principle, from Greek, from axioun to consider worthy, from axios worthy[1].

    Snippet 1:  The HTML-5 code that generated the above definition list.

    Snippet 2:  The CSS styling that I applied to the Definition List whose code is featured in Snippet 2.

Addendum:

    Snippet 3:  The SVG code that I scripted that generates the HTML-5 logo employed to illustrate this blog-post.

You may view the source code of the SVG code of the HTML-5 logo at my Codepen account.

The Quantity of Syllables in Ancient Greek The Quantity of Syllables in Ancient Greek: Figure 1:   Ancient Greek is an extremely musical language, possessing both pitch, and rhythm. Introduction: In Ancient Greek, syllables are either: long; short; or obscure. Body: We shall now examine each class of Syllable Length in turn: Long Syllables: In Ancient Greek, a syllable is considered long , by nature, should it contain one of the vowels: η , ω ; or long: ᾱ , ῑ , ῡ , ; or diphthongs: αι , ει , οι , αυ , ου , υι , ευ , ηυ .  Syllables that are long by nature [1] . are held for the length of two morae [2] ., which is analogous to a minim or a half note in music.

The Naming of Sets in Set Theory:

The Naming of Sets in Set Theory Figure 1:   I drew this set-naming italic character in SVG.  You may view the code of this image at my Codepen Account . Figure 2: What the SVG image looks like when exported as a PNG. [1] In Set Theory - which underpins so much of computing mathematics - we conventionally name sets with capital italic letters. In computer science, a name such as: A , would be termed an: ‘identifier’ . In the below example, we shall use the capital italic character: R so as to name the members of the set of Radix-ten [2] integers. Figure 3: “ A SQUARE-ROOT SIGN   This sign is from radix (Latin for root) and was first used by Leonardo da Pisa in 1220.  Today’s √ sign, which may be a distortion of the letter “r”, is sixteenth-century German.” [3] An Example of Naming a Set with an Italic Italic Capital Character
