SPAN - Generic Inline Container

Syntax <SPAN>...</SPAN>
Attribute Specifications

Contents [5]Inline elements
Contained in [6]Inline elements, [7]block-level elements

The SPAN element is a generic inline container. SPAN carries no
structural meaning itself, but it can be used to provide extra
structure through its [8]LANG, [9]DIR, [10]CLASS, and [11]ID
attributes. [12]Style sheets are often used to suggest a presentation
for a given class or ID.

SPAN should only be used where no other HTML [13]inline element
provides a suitable meaning. If a presentation such as bold or italic
text would be suitable on visual browsers, authors may prefer to use
an appropriate [14]font style element. For example:
1. <P><SPAN LANG=fr>La Rйvolution Tranquille</SPAN> shook Quebec in
the early 1960's.
2. <P><I LANG=fr>La Rйvolution Tranquille</I> shook Quebec in the
early 1960's.

These examples are identical in meaning, but the second example uses
the [15]I element to suggest italic text.

[16]DIV is a block-level equivalent of SPAN for containing
[17]block-level elements such as [18]P and [19]TABLE.
