How do replaced elements (like or ) behave with different display values?

Replaced elements, such as ` `, ` `, ` `, ` `, and ` `, have intrinsic dimensions and content that are replaced by external sources or browser-defined rendering. Their behavior with `display` depends on the CSS property applied. By default, most replaced elements behave like `inline-block`, allowing width and height to be set while flowing inline with text. `display: block` makes replaced elements start on a new line and take up the full width of their container (unless width is specified). `display: inline` keeps replaced elements in the text flow, but height and width may be ignored depending on the element and browser. `display: inline-block` allows replaced elements to remain inline while respecting width and height. Replaced elements respect `margin` and `padding` differently depending on the display value and the browser’s layout rules. In this example, the first image flows inline with text, the second image appears on its own line as a block, and the input remains inline but respects its specified width. Use `inline-block` for replaced elements when you need them inline but still want control over width and height. Use `block` when you want replaced elements to occupy their own line and control layout structure. Test across browsers, as some replaced elements may render slightly differently depending on default styles.
