inline
English

This message displays either in a dialog box or inline.
This term is translated like 'online' or 'embedded' in MS glossaries. In a Symantec glossary, the term 'inline' remains inline in French. All these translations are a bit confusing.
How do you understand this term in the above sentence ?

Definition:
The short definition is that inline elements are elements that are found in the text of the HTML document. They are also sometimes called text level elements.
Inline elements have some specific distinctions from block-level elements:
Inline elements generally only contain text, data or other inline elements. They are usually "smaller" than block-level elements.
Inline elements do not generally begin new lines of text.
Inline elements inherit directionality information differently from block-level elements.
It's often referred to in describing text that can be indexed by search engines.

: The answer certainly makes sense, though the explanation does not actually have anything to do with the question (the block/inline level distinction does not have anything to do with dialog boxes)

inline: embedded, built-in
Sentence: "This message displays either in a dialog box or inline."
I think the easiest way to explain the sentence is:
This message displays either in a dialog box or without the use of a dialog box. Without the use of a dialog box, the message will be embedded in the game, application, web page or whatever you are looking at, instead of in a dialog box that pops up in front.

Lacking that, I can only imagine “inline” meaning putting the message within a larger body of text as an integral part of it (that’s the “embedded” sense). That’s what inline usually means, but whether that makes sense will, I guess, depend on where the message will be displayed inline.
