Arranged in a straight line or sequence, or integrated directly within something rather than separate from it.
Compound of 'in' (within) and 'line' (straight arrangement). Originally used in mechanical contexts in the early 20th century, later adopted in computing to describe code or elements embedded directly within other structures.
The term gained new life in web development where 'inline styles' refer to CSS formatting applied directly to HTML elements. Inline skating revolutionized roller sports by arranging wheels in a single row, mimicking ice skating motion.
