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.
Standing on the River Thames, London has been a major settlement for two millennia, its history going back to its founding by the Romans, who named it Londinium.
Most HTML elements are defined as block level elements or inline elements.
Block level elements normally start (and end) with a new line, when displayed in a browser.
Examples: <h1>, <p>, <ul>, <table>
Inline elements are normally displayed without line breaks.
Examples: <b>, <td>, <a>, <img>
The HTML <div> element is a block level element that can be used as a container for other HTML elements.
The <div> element has no special meaning. It has no required attributes, but style and class are common.
Because it is a block level element, the browser will display line breaks before and after it.
When used together with CSS, the <div> element can be used to style blocks of content.
The HTML <span> element is an inline element that can be used as a container for text.
The <span> element has no special meaning. It has no required attributes, but style and class are common.
Unlike <div>, which is formatted with line breaks, the <span> element does not have any automatic formatting.
When used together with CSS, the <span> element can be used to style parts of the text:
| Tag | Description |
|---|---|
| <div> | Defines a section in a document (block-level) |
| <span> | Defines a section in a document (inline) |
