Override The Default Display Value

Changing an inline element to a block element, or vice versa, can be useful for making the page look a specific way, and still follow the web standards.
A common example is making inline <li> elements for horizontal menus:
Example

li {

  display: inline;

}

Note: Setting the display property of an element only changes how the element is displayed, NOT what kind of element it is. So, an inline element with display: block; is not allowed to have other block elements inside it.
The following example displays <span> elements as block elements:
Example

span {

  display: block;

}

The following example displays <a> elements as block elements:
Example

a {

  display: block;

}
