From the spec Block-level elements generate a principal block box that only contains block boxes. The principal block box establishes the containing block for descendant boxes and generated content and is also the box involved in any positioning scheme. Principal block boxes participate in a block formatting context The first sentence Block-level elements generate a principal block box that only contains block boxes that doesn't make sense to me I understand that html like <p> Some text<b>bold</b> </p> <p> is a block level element (correct?) But since it only contains inline elements, shouldn't the child boxes of <p> be line boxes? (line formatting context) but the spec says that <p> should only contain block boxes since it's a block level element?? -- Sigurd Lerstad
