Understanding Block Formatting Contexts and Display Types in CSS

A Block Formatting Context (BFC) is part of the visual CSS rendering of a web page. It defines how block boxes interact with each other, how floats are contained, and how margins collapse. Certain display values trigger the creation of a BFC.

Display Types That Create a BFC

1
display: block – Standard block-level elements participate in normal flow and may form a BFC under specific conditions.
2
display: flow-root – Explicitly creates a new BFC, isolating its children from floats outside the element.
