Description List

DescriptionList is a component for listing pairs of information together. You can use the component on its own, passing in an object for the list, or use the EuiDescriptionListTitle and EuiDescriptionListDescriptioncomponents separately to build a list manually.

Reverse style

Setting the textStyle prop to reverse will reverse the text styles of the title and description elements so that the description is more prominent. This works best for key/value type content.

Adding this property to the inline type will not change anything.
