The following example demonstrates Block and Inline Level boxes. The two paragraph elements with a green border are Block Level, displaying one under the other.
The first sentence also includes a span element with a blue background. This is inline level and therefore displays in place in the sentence.
<div class="box">

One <span>November</span> night in the year 1782, so the story runs, two
brothers sat over their winter fire in the little French town of Annonay,
watching the grey smoke-wreaths from the hearth curl up the wide chimney.
Their names were Stephen and Joseph Montgolfier, they were papermakers by
trade, and were noted as possessing thoughtful minds and a deep interest in
all scientific knowledge and new discovery.
</p>
<p>
Before that nightâa memorable night, as it was to proveâhundreds of millions
of people had watched the rising smoke-wreaths of their fires without
drawing any special inspiration from the fact.
