DTHD (Definition Term Header)

The DTHD tag defines the heading for the term column of a definition list.

Syntax


>>-<DTHD>----definition-term-header----+---------+-------------><
                                       '-</DTHD>-'

Parameters

definition-term-header: This is the text of the definition term header. The length of the text for the definition term header should be less than the specified TSIZE value in the DL tag. A warning message is issued if the length of the text exceeds the limit.

Comments

The DTHD tag defines the heading for the term column of a definition list. You can code multiple DTHD tags within a definition list.

The conversion utility inserts a blank line between the header and the list items unless the COMPACT attribute is specified on the DL tag.

Restrictions

You must code the DTHD tag within a DL definition. See DL (Definition List) for a complete description of this tag.
Each DTHD tag must be paired with and precede a definition description header (DDHD) tag.
