What is the default display type for HTML5 elements?

[Yvar]

The one thing I cannot distill from the spec is what the (default) display type is for all the elements.
In theory I think Phrasing Content should be inline, and Flow should be block, right? But the problem with this is, that ALL Phrasing Content is also Flow Content. It also doesn't work to look explicitly at the Content as ABBR for example can only contain Phrasing (and could be inline as it was in HTML4), but P and PRE can also only contain Phrasing, and those could be block (as it was in HTML4)

So how does one determine the display type?

Using CSS

Browsers will determine the default, which you can over-ride.

Phrasing and flow has nothing to do with how it's displayed. The content model is about how elements are allowed to be nested.

How it's displayed by default is discussed in the rendering section:

Works for me. Maybe you're viewing the "Hide UA text" version of the spec?
