What are inline and block elements in HTML
Table of contents
Block elements are elements that take up the full width of their parent container and create a new line after them. Examples of block elements include div, h1-h6, p, and form. Block elements can contain other block and inline elements.
<div>: a container for HTML elements, used to group elements and apply styles to them.
<h1> to <h6>: used for headings and subheadings, with h1 being the most important and h6 being the least.
<p>: used for paragraphs of text.
<form>: used to create an HTML form for user input.
<ul>, <ol>, <li>: used to create a list, ul is unordered and ol is ordered.
table: a table for tabular data
blockquote: a section that quotes from another source
pre: preformatted text
hr: a horizontal rule to separate content.
Inline elements are elements that take up only as much width as necessary and do not create a new line after them. Examples of inline elements include a, span, img, and strong. Inline elements can only contain other inline elements.
<a>: used to create a hyperlink to another webpage or a specific location on the same page.
<span>: used to group small elements and apply styles to them.
<img>: used to embed images in a webpage.
<strong>: used to give text strong importance and make it bold.
For Example:
<p>Inline elements are elements that are used within the text flow of a document and do not create a new line or block. Some examples of inline elements include:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Span</strong> - used to apply a style or class to a specific section of text within a block element</li>
<li><em>Emphasis</em> - used to emphasize a word or phrase</li>
<li><a href="https://www.example.com">Anchor</a> - used to create a link to another webpage</li>
<li><code>Code</code> - used to display code snippets within a block of text</li>
</ul>
<p>These elements can be used in combination with block elements to create a well-formatted and stylized webpage.</p>
