Note: If the inline styles are not specified, it is generally a good idea to use a <style> element in the <head> of the page (or in a linked stylesheet), to format the <dl> and/or <dt> elements. In fact, specifying the styles in this fashion is more efficient than using the inline styles. (Doing this is not always possible, however — for example, when formatting a transcript for posting in an online forum message; for that reason, this form allows specification of inline styles.)

For example, instead of specifying (in the Inline Style inputs, above) "font-family: verdana, arial, sans-serif" for the entire transcript, "margin-top: 0.5em; font-style: italic; font-weight: bold" for the speaker's name, and "margin-top: 0.15em" for the typed text, it is preferable to include the following in the <head> of the page: <style type="text/css"> dl {font-family: verdana, arial, sans-serif} dt {margin-top: 0.5em; font-style: italic; font-weight: bold} dd {margin-top: 0.15em} </style>
