We will now be able to explicitly set display type of elements by two valued syntax of CSS display. This will allow us to change the flow layout of element
Syntax
The syntax of CSS display property is as follows −
Selector {
display: /*inside*/ /*outside*/
}Example
The following examples illustrate CSS display property.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<style>
body,div,span {
box-shadow: inset 0 0 12px lightgreen;
border: 2px dotted gray;
}
span {
padding: 2%;
display: inline flow-root;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div>
