Meaning of inline in HTML

Question

Detailed answer

Answer 1

Basically, an inline element does not cause a line break (start on a new line) and does not take up the full width of a page, only the space bounded by its opening and closing tag. It is usually used within other HTML elements.
e. g.
anchor <a> tag

emphasis <em> tag

image <img> tag

<span> tag
