n HTML, there are two main types of elements: block elements and inline elements.
Block elements are elements that create a rectangular block on a web page, taking up the full width of their parent container, and creating a new line before and after the element. Examples of block elements include the div
, h1
to h6
, p
, ol
, ul
, and table
elements.
Inline elements, on the other hand, are elements that are placed inline with the text, and only take up as much width as necessary to display their content. Examples of inline elements include the span
, a
, strong
, em
, img
and input
elements.
It’s important to understand the difference between block and inline elements, as they behave differently and affect the layout of a web page differently.
