In a definition list, each list item is followed by its definition.

To add a definition list to your Web page:

  2. In the main menu, click

    Insert | List | Definition List. An empty term item is created.

  3. Type the term you want to define. Press the Enter key and type in the definition of the term. To enter the next term, press

    Enter again. To make a normal line break within an item, hold the Shift key down while pressing the Enter key. If you want to select from among specialized line break types, hold the Ctrl key down while pressing the Enter key to open the Line Break dialog box.
