I am having hard time to understand these concepts. I am learning from MDN Visual formatting model as well as from specs enter link description here There are so much terms thrown around that I can't even connect them into one stable mental model. For example on MDN page it says:
A block-level box may also be a block container box. A block container box is a box that contains only other block-level boxes, or creates an inline formatting context, thus containing only inline boxes.
Then it says:
It is important to note that the notions of a block-level box and block container box are disjointed. The first, describes how the box behaves with its parents and sibling. The second, how it interacts with its descendants. Some block-level boxes, like tables, aren't block container boxes. Reciprocally, some block container boxes, like non-replaced inline blocks and non-replaced table cells, aren't block-level boxes.
Block-level boxes that also are block container boxes are called block boxes.
Is there some way to explain this so that I get at least some anchor point from where I can expand and include other concepts?
