1848044 - Nested description lists are not working properly

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

the nesting of description list <dl> elements for highlights within the separate component are not working well - each term <dt> would announce that it is a list by NVDA (for example), but would lack a number of items and a position within the set (since they'll think it's only one item in this description list)

Expected is something like In list, 3 items (for category name) > Price, 1 of 3 > In list, 3 items (for the <ul> of highlights) > They taste amazing... , 1 of 3 > ... > Quality, 2 of 3 etc.

This may be caused by the screen reader's support of description lists in general.

The issue here is that any list (description or unordered) is expected to communicate to a user of a screen reader how long the list is and which is the position of this item within this list so they could easily navigate and plan how many items they want to hear.
