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 Increment Operator in C      Figure 1:   The C symbol. The Increment and Decrement Operators in C: Introduction: In C-derived programming languages, being able to increment and decrement number values is an extremely important skill. The increment and decrement operations are deployed in loops etc., and whilst scripting videogames in suites such as Unity and Unreal – which use C#/JavaScript and C++ respectively – these operations are very often employed – amongst other things – to effect the motion of avatars and sprites and projectiles etc. Body: Operator Classification: The Increment and Decrement operations are classed as unary operations, which means that the operator takes a single operand. Example: In an expression such as: 1++ ,...

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. ...
