hello list,

i'm new to this list, and while not exactly "new" to css i'm just an
amateur, and never really went past the basics.

i've searched the list archives and found a question similar to mine but not
quite, and the answer didn't quite work for me either, so here it is:

i want to format definition lists in a way that the definition description
goes in the same line than the definition term, like this:


dt term1 here   dd text goes here to the end of the line blah blah blah
and goes on here at the beginning of the next line if long enough

dt term2 here   dd text 2 goes here etc.

i tried different values of the 'display' property, and also with 'float'.
but i can't get exactly what i want, that seems to me should be trivial.

the idea is using such lists e. g. for bibliographies, where the <dt> is the
author, and the <dd> title and description of the book.

i hope my question was appropriately posed.

best,

lj
