What html markups to use for displaying label/value data?

Viewed 21250

I want to render a profile user container that contains a list of labels and their associated values.

Here is an excerpt of information and layout I'd like to display:

First Name.......MyName

Age...................MyAge

email................MyEmail

I know that there are tons of examples available but the problem is that it seems that there is no commonly accepted solution.

So far I have seen the following usage :

  1. Table with markup (and < tr >,< td >...)
  2. Unordered list with < ul > markup (and < li >, < div >...)
  3. Regular markups with < h1 >,< h2 >...< p >
  4. Definition List with < DL >, < DT > and < DD >
  5. < label >...?

What is the most semantically correct? What is the easiest to display (in a 2-columns layout)? What do you advise me to use and for what reasons?

(html/css code snippets are more than welcomed)
