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.

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.
