HTML Block elements,are used to structure the main content of a webpage. They typically start on a new line and take up the full width of their container examples <div>, <p>, <h1> to <h6>, and <ul>, etc.

On the other hand, Inline elements are used within block-level elements to style or format specific parts of the content. They don’t start on a new line and only take up as much width as necessary for example include <span>, <a>, <strong>, and <em>.

Example: This example illustrates the use of the block-level element & inline element.

HTML <!DOCTYPE html> <html> <body> <div> GeeksforGeeks </div> Checkout the GeeksforGeeks <a alt="GeeksforGeeks" href="https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/"> official </a> website for the articles on various courses. </body> </html>

 Output:

In the above example, we have used the <div> tag that always starts in a new line & captures the full width available. We have used the inline element anchor tag <a>that is used to provide a link to a text. The inline element doesn’t start in a new line & captures only the space around the element.

Block Level Elements:

A block-level element always starts on a new line and stretches out to the left and right as far as it can i.e, it occupies the whole horizontal space of its parent element & the height is equal to the content’s height. 

Supported tags:

  • <address> Tag
  • <blockquote> Tag
  • <dd> Tag
  • <Div> Tag
  • <dl> Tag 
  • <dt> Tag
  • <canvas> Tag
  • <form> Tag
  • <Heading> Tag
  • <hr> Tag
  • <li> Tag
  • <main> Tag
  • <nav> Tag
  • <noscript> Tag
  • <ol> Tag
  • <pre> Tag
  • <section> Tag
  • <tfoot> Tag
  • <ul> Tag
  • Tables Tag
  • HTML Paragraphs
  • <Video> Tag
  • <aside> Tag
  • <article> Tag
  • <figcaption> Tag
  • <fieldset> Tag
  • <figure> Tag
  • <footer> Tag
  • <header> Tag

div element:

The <div> element is used as a container for other HTML elements. It has no required attributes. Style, class, and id are the commonly used attributes.

Syntax:

<div>GFG</div>

Example: The below code illustrates the implementation of <div> tag. 

HTML <!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <title>Block-level Element</title> </head> <body> <div> <h1>GeeksforGeeks</h1> <h3>GeeksforGeeks is a science portal for geeks.</h3> <h3> You can give reviews as well as contribute posts on this portal. </h3> </div> </body> </html>

Output:

Block Element

Inline Elements:

An inline element is the opposite of the block-level element. It does not start on a new line and takes up only the necessary width ie., it only occupies the space bounded by the tags defining the HTML element, instead of breaking the flow of the content. 

Supported tags:

  • <br> Tag
  • <button> Tag
  • <time> Tag
  • <tt> Tag
  • <var> Tag
  • <a> Tag
  • <abbr> Tag
  • <acronym> Tag
  • <b> Tag
  • <cite> Tag
  • <code> Tag
  • <dfn> Tag
  • <em> Tag
  • <i> Tag
  • <output> Tag
  • <q> Tag,
  • <samp> Tag
  • <script> Tag
  • <select> Tag
  • <small> Tag
  • <span> Tag
  • <strong> Tag
  • <sub> Tag
  • <sup> Tag
  • <textarea> tag
  • <bdo> Tag
  • <big> Tag
  • <img> Tag
  • <input> Tag
  • <kbd> Tag
  • <label> Tag
  • <map> Tag
  • <Object> tag

span element:

The <span> tag is used as a container for text. It has no required attributes. Style, class, and id are the commonly used attributes.

Syntax: 

<span>GFG</span>

Example: The below code illustrates the implementation of <span> tag. 

HTML <!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <title>HTML span element</title> <style> body{ text-align:center; } h1{ color:green; } span{ color:red; } </style> </head> <body> <h1>Geeks <span> for</span> Geeks </h1> </body> </html>

Output:

Inline Element
