The difference between inline and block elements pertains to the way the organize and affect text that appears on the webpage. For example, block elements such as
- headers (h1, h2, etc.)
- lists (both ordered and unordered)
- paragraphs (p)
On the other hand, inline elements will effect the text within a block. Things like italicizing, bolding, or anchoring links will not start on a new line, but they provide attributes to the text that they appear in.
