CSS display
With the display property you can specifies if or how an HTML element is displayed in the web page.
- Values:
- inline - Sets the element to be displaied as an inline element (like <span>, <a>), it has no line break and takes up as much width as necessary.
- block - Creates a block box. A block element takes up the full width available, and has a line break before and after it.
- inline-block - The element will generate a block box, laid out as an inline box, similar to the image behavior
