<span> tag

Question

The <span> tag is an inline container used to mark up a part of a text, or a part of a document.

in w3school says.
So what's the diffrence than just adding <strong> or color:red ??

and it also says its like a div. I don't get it. How it's like a <div> tag ??

Answer 1

<div> and <span> do not have any semantic meaning. You can style them however you like.

<strong> has a semantic meaning "strong" importance. Most browsers will have some default styling for it.

Answer 2

it do all what div do but in inline display
example:if you want to put 2 paragraphs beside each other use span /or use div with display flex and change float
in that example using span easier
