Use the span element to surround a run of text
without using any of the semantic inline
elements. This is frequently necessary for extensions
using attributes from external namespaces.
The span element can contain a mixture of text and
any general inline elements.
The span element can occur in any
general inline context, including inside most
inline elements, some
basic block elements, and certain
informational elements.
The span element can link to other pages or documents.
See for more information.
The style attribute takes a space-separated list of
style hints. Processing tools should adjust their behavior according to
those style hints they understand.
The span element can have attributes from external
namespaces. See for more information
on external-namespace attributes.
Use span with an external-namespace attribute to mark a word
as untranslatable using the
Internationalization Tag Set:
word should not be translated.]]>
This word should not be translated.
No particular special rendering is required for span elements.
Processing tools may have special processing rules for certain style hints or
external-namespace attributes.
The span element is similar to the
phrase
element in DocBook.
