You may like to style some texts on a line, not the whole line or paragraph. Span is an inline element which let's you do something like this. HTML : Hello <span>World</span> !! CSS : span {color:red;} Color of "World" will be red. Not the whole line.

Div VS Span: Span doesn't force a new line. Example: ⚡️Span⚡️: <p> Long time ago <span> Apples </span> used to be nice. </p> Result is: Long time ago Apples used to be nice. ⚡️Div⚡️: <p> Long time ago <div> Apples </div> used to be nice.</p> result is: Long time ago Apples used to be nice. The span didn't do anything to the text. But the div started a new line after the word 'ago'. So you can use Span for styling a specific text.... It might have other usages, but - that's all i know. ill make u a code Div vs Span, if u need too

Thank you Jackson. Does it not help me put a heading? As a background additional information to my question, I'm asking this in HTML.
