Question 5

What is the difference between an inline element and a block element?

A block element takes up an entire horizontal row, whereas an inline element only takes up enough space to contain the text inside. As a result, inline elements are usually contained inside of block elements.

Question 6

A self-closing tag does not need an ending to signify where it's located. Because of that, unlike most HTML tags, instances of a self-closing tag will only appear once.

Attributes must be contained within an element's starting tag. It will start with a classifier, followed by an equation sign, then followed by a value in quotation marks.
