HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) elements are usually either "block-level" elements or "inline" elements. A block-level element occupies the entire space of its parent element (container), thereby creating a "block." This article helps to explain what this means.
Browsers typically display the block-level element with a newline both before and after the element. The following example demonstrates the block-level element's influence:
Elementos Block-level
HTML
<p>Este parágrafo é um elemento block-level; its background has been colored to display the paragraph's parent element.</p>
CSS
p { background-color: #8ABB55; }
Utilização
- Block-level elements may appear only within a
<body>element.
Block-level vs. inline
There are a couple of key differences between block-level elements and inline elements:
- Formatting
- By default, block-level elements begin on new lines, but inline elements can start anywhere in a line.
- Content model
- Generally, block-level elements may contain inline elements and other block-level elements. Inherent in this structural distinction is the idea that block elements create "larger" structures than inline elements.
The distinction of block-level vs. inline elements is used in HTML specifications up to 4.01. In HTML5, this binary distinction is replaced with a more complex set of content categories. The "block-level" category roughly corresponds to the category of flow content in HTML5, while "inline" corresponds to phrasing content, but there are additional categories.
