Checks that definition lists contain only dt and dd elements


Rule ID	`a11y/definition-list`
Category	Accessibility
Scope	Per-page
Severity	error
Weight	7/10

Solution

Definition lists (<dl>) should only contain <dt> (term) and <dd> (description) elements as direct children. Optionally, they can be wrapped in <div> for styling. Do not put other elements like <p>, <span>, or <li> directly inside <dl>.
