Turn term: definition lines into a semantic dl with dt and dd elements for glossaries, metadata and FAQ-style content. HTML Definition List Generator is a free online tool from the ToolsRift HTML Tools collection. It runs entirely in your browser — nothing to install, no signup, and your data never leaves your device.
A <dl> pairs terms (<dt>) with descriptions (<dd>). It suits glossaries, FAQs, metadata and any key-value content where each item has a name and an explanation.
Write one pair per line as term: definition. The text before the first colon becomes the <dt> and the rest becomes the <dd>. Lines with no colon are treated as a lone term.
The HTML spec allows several <dd> elements after a single <dt>. This generator produces one description per line; add extra <dd> tags manually for multiple definitions.
