HTML 5 <dt> tag
Definition and Usage
The <dt> tag defines the start of a term in a definition list, and
parts in a dialog.
Differences Between HTML 4.01 and HTML 5
HTML 5 indroduced the <dialog> tag, which defines a dialog. In dialogs, the
<dt> tag defines the part the sentence belong to. See example 2
