Question

what are block formating elements in HTML?

Answer 1

HTML Block and Inline Elements

❮ PreviousNext ❯

Every HTML element has a default display value depending on what type of element it is. The default display value for most elements is block or inline.

Block-level Elements

A block-level element always starts on a new line and takes up the full width available (stretches out to the left and right as far as it can).

The <div> element is a block-level element.

Example

<div>Hello</div>
<div>World</div>

Answer 2

↔⏩The HTML <span> is an inline element and it can be used to group inline-elements in an HTML document. This tag also does not provide any visual change on the block but has more meaning when it is used with CSS.

↔⏩HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) elements historically were categorized as either "block-level" elements or "inline" elements. Inline elements are those which only occupy the space bounded by the tags defining the element, instead of breaking the flow of the content.


↔⏩The p element should not contain any other block element, although it is a block element itself. ... It is block, but like any other block element the CSS display property can make it behave in a few ways, including inline or inline-block.
