Definition List Details Dialog Box
The Definition List Details dialog box displays when you apply the Definition List style to an element, via the > menu option. It permits you to choose the elements that should form the components of the definition list, and set the appearance of the list.
The Definition List Details dialog box contains the following options:
• Item element (wraps term and definition) - Choose an element to perform the list entry role, wrapping the terms and definitions, in a definition list. The drop down list in this field displays those elements that are permitted as children of the original element given the Definition List style in the Elements list. Leave this field blank if your document type does not use a wrapper element.
• Term element - Choose an element to contain the terms of the definition list. This list contains the elements that are permitted as children of the element selected in the Item element field, if one was chosen. If an item element was not selected, this list contains those elements that are permitted as children of the original element given the Definition List style in the Elements list.
• Definition element - Choose an element to contain the definitions in the definition list. This list contains the elements that are permitted as children of the element selected in the Item element field, if one was chosen. If an item element was not selected, this list contains those elements that are permitted as children of the original element given the Definition List style in the Elements list.
• Term width - Specify the space allowed to accommodate the term element. See the note at the end of this description for input options.
• Gutter width - Specify the space between the term element and the definition element in each list entry. See the note at the end of this description for input options.

Once you have selected a Size object the measurement it defines will be displayed wrapped in angle brackets (< > characters) in the relevant field.
