HTML HTML 4.0 The SPAN Tag Tutorial
This piece is the first in a series of HTML 4.01 tutorials. If you haven't already, it would be best if you read over the HTML 4.01 reference tutorial . It offers a general overview of the new tags and attributes involved with the latest version of HTML to hit the Net. Now it's time to get a little more specific about what you can and cannot do with this version. We'll start with a brand new tag, SPAN. If you haven't seen or heard about it by now, get ready. This pup will be one of the big workhorses in Web pages to come.

This tutorial was originally written when HTML4.0 was a brand new feature of the web. It has since been updated to reflect the full HTML 4.01 specification now in common use. SPAN: What Does It Do? Nothing! Not a darn thing. But that's the beauty of it. Above all, remember this about HTML 4.01 Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) will be big. The use of one command to denote multiple points on a page is the wave of the HTML future.

If you've used CSS, you know that you've always had the ability to attach a style to a command. For instance, you could say that every time the BOLD tag is used, also make the text Arial and blue, right? You also probably know that you could stick style commands into other tags. You could put:
STYLE="font-family: courier"
But in all cases, you still had to use a tag that itself would affect the text, the image, or whatever. That's where the SPAN tag comes in so handy. It doesn't affect the text at all. It is there only to carry with it other attributes to affect the text, the image, or whatever.
