<SPAN ...>
The sole purpose for <SPAN ...>
is to allow you to set
the fonts for a
span of text. This is done by creating a styles rule, then applying the style to a <SPAN ...>
element.
For example, suppose you want your product names displayed in a special style. First, you could create a style rule in the like this:
<STYLE TYPE="text/css">
<!--
.product
{
color:brown;
font-weight:900;
font-size:95%;
font-family:sans-serif;
}
-->
</STYLE>
This rule creates a styles class named
product
and sets the
font color to
brown,
weight to 900, the
size to
95%, and the
font family to
the generic font family "san-serif".
We can now apply the product
class to
a <SPAN ...>
element using the CLASS
attribute:
Our new software product,
<SPAN CLASS="product">MOFAT</SPAN>,

which gives us
