我正在尝试为我的网站开发一个布局,其中定义列表的元素将水平排列,有点像这样:

term 1                term 2               term 3
definition 1          definition 2         definition 3

任何人都知道如何使用有效的CSS制作定义列表?或者,如果我不能使用<dl>,那么推荐的结构是什么?

这应该这样做:

<dl>
    <dt>term 1</dt>
    <dd>definition 1</dd>
</dl>
<dl>
    <dt>term 2</dt>
    <dd>definition 2</dd>
</dl>
<dl>
    <dt>term 3</dt>
    <dd>definition 3</dd>
</dl>

在CSS中:

dl {
    float: left;
}

dl dd {
    display: block;
    margin: 0;
}

根据需要应用其他样式。可以在这里找到一个工作示例:

Zombie question resurrection but the accepted answer totally breaks the whole reason for using a dl in the first place. There's a better way.

From the HTML specification for DLs (emphasis mine):

In order to annotate groups with microdata attributes, or other global attributes that apply to whole groups, or just for styling purposes, each group in a dl element can be wrapped in a div element. This does not change the semantics of the dl element.

Of course, easily solved by flexbox.

dl {
  display: flex;
  justify-content: space-between;
}

/* Below is just styling. Adjust as needed. */
dt {
 font-weight: bold;
}
dt,
dd {
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
}
/* Small screens */
@media screen and (max-width: 400px) {
  dl {
     flex-direction: column;
  }
  dl div {
    padding: 1em 1em 0 1em;
  }
}
<dl>
  <div>
    <dt>term 1</dt>
    <dd>definition 1</dd>
  </div>
  <div>
    <dt>term 2</dt>
    <dd>definition 2</dd>
    <dd>definition 2.1</dd>
    <dd>definition 2.2</dd>
  </div>
  <div>
    <dt>term 3</dt>
    <dd>definition 3</dd>
  </div>
  <div>
    <dt>term 4</dt>
    <dd>definition 4</dd>
  </div>
</dl>
