Using <span>

HTML <span> tags define an inline container. It can be used for styling purposes (like in the example below), or to group elements that have the same attribute values:

<p>She's got <span style="color: #33FFB5;">electric</span> boots</p>
<p>A <span style="color: #96097C;">mohair</span> suit</p>
<p>You know I read it in a <span style="color: #F07501;">magazine</span></p>

Note: HTML span element is similar to <div>. However, it is an inline element, while <div> is of a block-level.
