yes,the content between the span tags are formatted differently,

The <span> tag has very similar properties to the <div> tag, in that it changes the style of the text it encloses. But without any style attributes, the <span> tag won't change the enclosed items at all.

The primary difference between the <span> and <div> tags is that <span> doesn't do any formatting of it's own. The <div> tag acts includes a paragraph break, because it is defining a logical division in the document. The <span> tag simply tells the browser to apply the style rules to whatever is within the <span>.

The <span> tag has no required attributes, but the three that are the most useful are:

* style
* class
* id

Use <span> when you want to change the style of elements without placing them in a new block-level element in the document. For example, if you had a Level 3 Heading (<h3>) that you wanted the second word to be red, you could surround that word with

<span style="color : #f00;">2ndWord</span>

and it would still be a part of the <h3> tag, just red.
