Overview

Show labeled entity attributes. It converts domain state into an understandable, traceable and accessible interface contract.

When to use

Use HE/Description list when you need to show labeled entity attributes. Keep its role distinct from transport freshness, animal-health severity and model confidence.

Accessibility

Use description-list semantics on web and keep term/value relationships adjacent.

  • Maintain a visible keyboard focus indicator and a logical focus sequence.
  • Never rely on colour alone for operational, freshness or severity state.
  • Keep touch targets at least 44 × 44 px unless the target is an inline text link.
