What is it?
A description list consists of terms followed by their corresponding descriptions or definitions. It is specifically designed to group items in a name-value or key-value format.
How do you use it?
Description lists are ideal for structured data, such as:
- Glossaries: Mapping technical terms to their definitions.
- FAQs: Pairing questions with their answers.
- Program parameters: Defining functions and their descriptions in technical documentation.
Creating a List
- Navigate to Structure -> Taxonomy -> Definitions.
- To begin a new list, click the "Add Term" button.
- Fill in the "Name" and "Description" fields.
- Click Save if you wish to enter multiple terms sequentially.
- Click Save and go to list to add a single term and return to the main overview.
- To place the list on a Canvas page, locate the Description List component in the component library and drag it to your desired area on the page.
