Notes
• Under HTML specifications, including HTML5, the closing tag for this element is
optional, though using it is encouraged when it will help make the list more
understandable.
• Under XHTML 1.0, the closing
</dd>
tag is mandatory.
• This element occurs within a list of defined terms enclosed by a
<dl>
tag. Typically
associated with it is the term it defines, indicated by the
<dt>
tag that precedes it,
though it doesn't have to match because there are not correspondence requirements
for definition lists.
• Under HTML5, this element has an overloaded meaning and may also be used to
enclose the content within
<details>
and
<figure>
tags.
• In early versions of HTML5, this element occurred within a
<dialog>
tag for
indication of dialog.
• HTML 2 and 3.2 define no attributes for this element.
<del> (Deleted Text)
This element is used to indicate that text has been deleted from a document. A browser
might render deleted text as strikethrough text.
Standard Syntax
<del
cite="URL"
class="class name(s)"
datetime="date"
dir="ltr | rtl"
id="unique alphanumeric identifier"
