I guess that <div>
might actually stand for: "division" since it creates a division in the document by separating content before and after it. Am I right?
But <span>
is a little bit more obscure on its meaning. I made some googling on this and found some interesting options: "Super Passive Analyzer Node", "SPAce Node", "Simple Plain Access Node".
Does anyone know the right acronym for <span>
?
What is the 'span' tag in HTML? In HTML, the span tag is a generic inline container element. Span tags usually wrap sections of text for styling purposes or for adding attributes to a section of text without creating a new line of content.
The span tag is used for the grouping of inline elements & this tag does not make any visual change by itself. span is very similar to the div tag, but div is a block-level tag and span is an inline tag. Syntax: <span class="">Some Text</span> Attribute: This tag accept all the Global attribute and Event Attributes.
It's not an acronym, it simply "spans" the content that is within the tag.
