Description List?

ajaxStardust January 10, 2023

No wonder I couldn’t find your plugin. The element you are using is a Definition List. I’ve never heard it referred to as a Description List until I found your extension (Definition List, Definition Term, Definition (Data; Details; other D-words semantically befitting a definition)). I get it. Mozilla calls it a Description List. Where did that come from? SMH.I’m suspect you’ll find more users if you use the common name.Historically, it is identified as a Definition list. (e.g. check the HTML3 spec, avail at w3 dot org)In any case, your plugin is really nice. Much better than the “other” one i was using. You got it right. Simple, easy, etc. Now I won’t have to suffer all of that broken HTML, block recovery, etc. Thank you!UPDATE: one star. it breaks WordPress (basically).

Perfect

Plugin Disables Publish/Update button and makes editor unresponsive

Ahmed Elgameel April 25, 2022

I have installed the plugin on my website and started using it on one page. When I hit the update button, the editor page becomes unresponsive and the update button status does not change. While editing other pages on the website without Description List Block's blocks, everything is fine. After disabling the plugin, the problem was fixed.
