HTML Block and Inline Element

Every HTML element has a default display value, depending on what type of element it is.
The two display values are: block and 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 World</div>
Block level elements in HTML:

Inline Elements
An inline element does not start on a new line and only takes up as much width as necessary.
This is an inline <span> element inside a paragraph.
Example
<span>Hello World</span>
Inline elements in HTML:
The <div> Element
The <div> element is often used as a container for other HTML elements.
The <div> element has no required attributes, but styleclass and id are common.
When used together with CSS, the <div> element can be used to style blocks of content:
Example
<div style="background-color:black;color:white;padding:20px;">
  
<h2>London</h2>
  
<p>London is the capital city of England. It is the most populous city in the United Kingdom, with a metropolitan area of over 13 million inhabitants.</p>
</div>
The <span> Element
The <span> element is often used as a container for some text.
The <span> element has no required attributes, but styleclass and id are common.
When used together with CSS, the <span> element can be used to style parts of the text:
Example
<h1>My <span style="color:red">Important</span> Heading</h1>
