Elementdir
Purposedirectory list dir compact reduced interitem spacing
DescriptionThis element encloses a directory list. The intent is that dir creates lists of short items. Browsers would render this list in a series of columns. The appearance would therefore be more compact than a list made using li. However, the dir element was never rendered differently in many browsers and was rarely used. Use ul instead.
Start tagRequired <dir>
