This is a paragraph before an unnumbered list (ul). Note that the spacing between a paragraph and a list before or after that is hard to tune in a user style sheet. You can't guess which paragraphs are logically related to a list, e.g. as a "list header".
- One.
- Two.
- Three. Well, probably this list item should be longer. Note that for short items lists look better if they are compactly presented, whereas, for long items, it would be better to have more vertical spacing between items.
- Four. This is the last item on this list. Let us terminate the list now without making any more fuss about it.

This is a paragraph before a definition list (dl). In principle, such a list should consist of terms and associated definitions. But many authors use dl elements for fancy "layout" things. Usually, the effect is not too bad, if you design user style sheet rules for dl which are suitable for real definition lists.

- a word or other expression is taken into specific use in a well-defined meaning, which is often defined rather rigorously, even formally, and may differ quite a lot from an everyday meaning
