# 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

</dl>

Milk

## Example 2
