I am explaining you, how to use Inline & Inline-block display in CSS. display properly define how the components are going to be place/show.

Syntax :

display: value;   //inline
                  //inline-block

<html lang="en">

    <meta charset="UTF-8">
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
    <title>Webdeveloperindia.in Inline & Inline-block css</title>

    <style>
        html, body {
            margin: 5px;
            padding: 5px;
        }
        .menu_box{            
            background-color: green;
            list-style-type: none;
            text-align: center;
        }

        .menu_box li {
            display: inline-block;
            padding: 10px;
            font-size: 25px;
        }
        span.spacing  {            
            width: 200px;
            display: inline-block;
            background-color:#ddd;
            height: 50px;
            padding: 5px;
        }
    </style>
