<p class="summary">El <em>Flujo Normal</em>, o también Flow Layout, es la forma en que los elementos de línea y de bloque son presentados en una página sin que haya cambios en su diseño. El flujo es esencialmente un grupo de elementos que se perciben entre sí e interactúan entre ellos en nuestro diseño. Cuando uno de ellos se encuentra <em>fuera del flujo</em>, éste se comporta de manera independiente.</p>

<p>In normal flow, <strong>inline</strong> elements display in the inline direction, that is in the direction  words are displayed in a sentence according to the <a href="/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/CSS_Writing_Modes">Writing Mode</a> of the document. <strong>Block</strong> elements display one after the other, as paragraphs do in the Writing Mode of that document. In English therefore, inline elements display one after the other, starting on the left, and block elements start at the top and move down the page.</p>

<p>The following example demonstrates Block and Inline Level boxes. The two paragraph elements with a green border are Block Level, displaying one under the other.</p>

<p>The first sentence also includes a span element with a blue background. This is inline level and therefore displays in place in the sentence.</p>
