Span display:block

Question

On the tutorial there are breaks in between each line. But when I run it there are none.

<span>line something whatever</span>
<span>second line blah blah blah</span>

And the css code

Span{
display : block;
}

Can someone tell me why?

Answer 1

That means the text inside the span tag will be behave like a block level Element.
After the span tag, text automatically will be go to the next line, in case if you not set the width.
