block level element

 

What are Block-level Elements?

• Block-level elements are those that start on a new line and take up the entire width of their container by default. 

• They essentially claim all the horizontal space for themselves, pushing any content that comes after them to a new line.

Characteristics of Block-level Elements:

• Always start on a new line.

• Take up the full width available.

• Width and height can be controlled via CSS.

• Can contain other block-level as well as inline elements.
