Your information is well used. Please check out my site and connections!!!!
i noticed footer element is inline in Firefox and block in Chrome. Please clarify.
I’m surprised to find nav and details is not on this list but on inline, nevertheless great work.
Thanks for the post. Definitely good food for thought. I don’t think the following elements default to block, though: video, output, canvas, progress. Progress and output in particular seem like they would regularly be used inline (for instance, performing a look-up within a form or displaying the results of a calculation).
that is the break tag \. Also your comment section should not ignore or render tags when used inside a comment.
