Examples

An <li> of a description list must have a <title> element.

The title provides the text of the marker (rendered in boldface); the remainder of the list item must also be structured, typically with some paragraphs. If the default format seems too constrained, perhaps a sidebyside element might provide more flexibility.

<dl>
   <li>
       <title>Groups of order 4:</title>
       <p>
       <m>\mathbb Z_2 \times \mathbb Z_2</m>, <m>\mathbb Z_4</m>
       </p>
   </li>
   <li>
       <title>Groups of order 5:</title>
       <p>
       <m>\mathbb Z_5</m>
       </p>
   </li>
   <li>
       <title>Groups of order 6:</title>
       <p>
       <m>\mathbb Z_6</m>, <m>S_3</m>
       </p>
   </li>
</dl>
