The multipurpose output panel

The outputPanel component is a panel component that can be rendered as a div or span HTML component. In this recipe, we will create an output panel that demonstrates deferred loading and placeholder usage for a data table.

    Volkswagen Passat CC)</h3>
  <p>is a four-door coupe version of the Volkswagen Passat.</p>
</p:outputPanel>

When the layout attribute is set to block, which is the default value, outputPanel renders an HTML div. By setting layout as inline, we can render an HTML span instead of the div.
