## [Tag Types](https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/sections.html)

All tags just have default CSS styling and expectations for usage, could only use divs and then style them

* &#x20;p should only contain paragraphs of text and will warn if div inside
*   &#x20;div divides common and basic

    &#x20;span is default inline for word level styling
* span is **inline** so margin wont work
* div and p are **block**&#x20;

### Element Type

* **Block**  start a new line by default and stack up like blocks
* **Inline** elements occur in the flow of text
