Description lists

Use Bootstrap description lists for key/value layouts, with responsive alignment helpers.

Description list container

Description lists pair terms (dt) with definitions (dd)—ideal for metadata blocks and compact summaries. Let’s review the container options first.

Description list example

This description list example shows how Bootstrap can present paired labels and values in a way that is easier to scan than a plain paragraph. It is useful for metadata, profile details, and admin summaries where the relationship between each term and its value should stay visually obvious.

Orient yourself in Properties panel

Start with the wider context in the Properties panel so the next control makes sense in the full workflow. In the next step, you will focus on Row layout and see how it fits into this area.

Row layout

Enable Row to align terms and descriptions using Bootstrap’s grid. This step matters because Row layout is part of Selection Panels Properties Desclistrow, and understanding that context makes the next action easier to repeat in your own project.

Edit terms and descriptions

Each row is made of a term (dt) and a description (dd). Let’s look at how you edit each one.

Term (dt)

Terms (dt) are the labels—short and scannable. This step matters because Term (dt) is part of Design View, and understanding that context makes the next action easier to repeat in your own project.

Term text

Edit the Text field to change the term content. This step matters because Term text is part of Selection Panels Properties Desclisttermtext, and understanding that context makes the next action easier to repeat in your own project.

Description (dd)

Descriptions (dd) hold the value text and can be longer if needed. This step matters because Description (dd) is part of Design View, and understanding that context makes the next action easier to repeat in your own project.

Description text

Edit the Text field to change the description content. This step matters because Description text is part of Selection Panels Properties Desclistdesctext, and understanding that context makes the next action easier to repeat in your own project.
