Block (CSS)

This article needs a technical review. How you can help.

block on a webpage is an HTML element that appears underneath the preceding element and above the following element. For example, <p> is by default a block-level element, whereas <a> is not (i.e., by default you can put a link in the middle of a paragraph; the link doesn't have to start its own line). Using display you can change whether an element displays inline or as a block (among many other options).

Blocks are subject to the effects of positioning schemes and use of the position property.
