DefList Component

DefList (Definition List) is the component that defines a list of items. This is commonly used for arconym definitions and quick name-value labelling. Bissetii supportes DefList seemlessly with its W3C tags out of the box.

This component is available starting from v1.11.0.

Hugo

Hugo supports DefList seamlessly so no special development is required.

HTML

Bissetii supports DefList component seamlessly across multiple output formats. Additionally, starting from version v1.13.0, the use of CSS variable is vital for its upgrade from v1.12.5.

Bissetii HTML codes for this component are the same for Vanilla HTML5 and AMPHTML.

Bissetii facilitates multiple <dd> definition list by default. One HTML example pattern would be:

<dl>
	<dt>Sun</dt>
	<dd>The core of our solar system.</dd>
	<dd>
		Primary source of energy. Its body is primarily consisting of
		hot plasma consistently dumping light and heat energies to its
		surrounding.
	</dd>
	<dd>
		Provides heats and gives life to plants on Earth.
	</dd>

	<dt>Mercury</dt>
	<dd>FIRST planet away from Sun.</dd>

	<dt>Venus</dt>
	<dd>SECOND planet away from Sun.</dd>

	<dt>Earth</dt>
	<dd>THIRD planet away from the Sun.</dd>
	<dd>Contains organic life on and inside the planet.</dd>
</dl>

This will render as:
