Workshop
You've learned how to create and customize lists in HTML. In this section, you see the
answers to some common questions about lists, and some exercises that should help you
remember the things you've learned.

Q&A
Q My glossaries came out formatted really strangely! The terms are indented
farther in than the definitions!
A Did you mix up the <dd> and <dt> tags? The <dt> tag is always used first (the def-
inition term), and the <dd> follows (the definition). I mix them up all the time.
There are too many d tags in glossary lists.
