# <def-list>

# Definition List

List in which each item consists of two parts: 1) a word, phrase, term, graphic, chemical structure, or equation, that is paired with 2) one or more descriptions, discussions, explanations, or definitions of it.

## Remarks

The <def-list> element should not be used to tag the formal terms and definitions provided in section 3 of many International Standards, or corresponding terms and definitions clauses in other documents. Such terms and definitions sections should be marked up using <term-sec> and the individual definitions should normally be marked up using <tbx:termEntry>.

See the separate documentation for a full description of the use of <tbx:termEntry>.

### Example

In the following example, the <def-list> element is used to tag a list of symbols with their explanations. This material does not appear in the document's “Terms and definitions” clause; that clause would be tagged with <term-sec> and <tbx:termEntry>, not <def-list>.

    <standard>
      <front>
        <iso-meta>...</iso-meta>
      </front>
      <body>
        ...
        <sec>
          <label>4.1</label>
          <title>Univariate symbols</title>
          <p>The symbols used when there is only one quality
            characteristic in the class are as follows.</p>
          <def-list list-type="symbol-list">
            <def-item>
              <term><italic>f<sub>s</sub></italic></term>
              <def>
                <p>factor that relates the maximum sample standard
