HTML Markup To Use For Video Transcripts

Question

Any idea what the proper containing markup would be to indicate a transcript for a video? Thinking accessibility for folks with disabilities but also perhaps search engine recognition of the association between the text and the video.

Answer 1

Definition lists are good for this:

<dl class="transcript">
    <dt>Person's name...</dt>
    <dd>What was said</dd>

    <dt>Person's name...</dt>
    <dd>What was said</dd>

    <dt>Person's name...</dt>
    <dd>What was said</dd>
</dl>

Answer 2

<cite> ? <q> ?

I usually use HTML Dog to check for available tags.
