<span>

A generic inline container for text.

The `<span>` tag is an inline container used to mark up a part of a text, or a part of a document. Unlike `<div>`, which is a block-level element, `<span>` does not start on a new line. It is useful for styling a specific section of text within a paragraph without breaking the flow of content.
