where's the <DL> tag - definition list - automation for?

Hi there.

I recently rediscovered the <DL> & <DD> & <DT> tags in HTML.

In Microsoft Frontpage there's an icon to do indenting, but
I could not figure out how to get it to do indenting where
there's no space between the non-indented item & the
indented item, such as like this:

MAIN ITEM
SUB ITEM
SUB-SUB ITEM

With Frontpage's little indent icon it forces a space
between the main item and the indented sub-item, like this:

MAIN ITEM

SUB ITEM

But if you don't want a space between the indented item and
the line above, you have to use the <DL> related tags.

So, if I use Frontpage, do I have to manually edit the code
in pages to put in the definition list related tags if I
want to use them, or has someone as Microsoft integrated
info Frontpage an easy way to do it through the GUI
interface?

Here's some sample code:

<dl>
<b><font size="2">MAIN ITEM</font></b><font size="2">
</font>
<dt><dd><font size="2">SUB ITEM</font></dl>

<dl><b><font size="2">ANOTHER MAIN
ITEM</font></b><dt><dd><font size="2">SUB ITEM</font></dl>

---end of sample code - which displays:

MAIN ITEM
SUB ITEM

ANOTHER MAIN ITEM
SUB ITEM

---

So can I do this type of indenting in Frontpage without
having to manually edit the HTML or not?
