Display: block

Display: block

Display properties tell browsers how an element should behave on the page. The most common display property keyword category is display: block.

Block-level elements start on a new line. The rectangular boxes they generate take up the full width of their parent containers unless you set up a custom width, so laying elements side by side requires you to select a different display setting, such as inline-block.

When creating a layout in Webflow, you can use display: block to divide a page into columns or manipulate an element’s positioning. You’ll use this category for headings, paragraphs, and other content that should display prominently on the page.
