The display property, which specifies how the element should be shown in the document.

There are two ways to use tables in layout: this is an HTML table and a CSS table.
An HTML table is when a native HTML <table> tag is used to create a table, and a CSS table is an imitation of the same behavior but with CSS properties.
The display: table CSS property and others render a group of elements like a <table> table, but with the limitation that colspan and rowspan cell joins are not supported.
