Summary list
Utilize a summary list to present a concise overview of information, such as a user's responses displayed at the end of a form.
The summary list uses the <dt>
HTML element to display key-value pairs in a clear format. The overall style is borrowed from the Table component.
- Key
<dt>
: The first column displays the item or attribute being described. It acts as a label or identifier for the value in the next column. - Value
<dd>
: The second column contains the corresponding data or details for each key. This is the main information that the summary list highlights. - Actions (optional)
<dd>
: The third column, if present, provides interaction options, such as edit or delete, allowing users to take action on specific items in the list.
