CSS Spans

Spans are very similar to divisions except
they are an inline element versus a block
level element. No linebreak is created when a
span is declared.
You can use the span
tag to style certain
areas of text, as shown in the following:
<span class=”italic”>This text is italic</span>
Then in my CSS file:
.italic{
  font-style: italic;
}
The final result is: This text is italic.
The purpose of the last 2 chapters was to
provide you with a basis for using CSS in an
(X)HTML file. For a more detailed
