What Are Inline Tags?
Inline tags don't force text to start on a new line like block tags do. An example of an inline tag is the strong tag which makes bold text:
One word in this sentence will be bold <strong> guess</strong> which one?
</p>
Did you pick "guess"? Then give yourself a pat on the back.
Another inline tag is the em tag, it makes italicized text:
The strong and em tags can be used together to make text both bold and italicized:
When using multipe tags it doesn't matter which tag comes first, but the closing tags must be placed in the correct order, if the opening em tag is first, the closing em tag must be last:
this is not correct - <em><strong>text here</em></strong>
Got it? Good, let's move on. The span tag is also an inline tag:
By itself the span tag doesn’t do anything but when combined with CSS it can change the appearance of text within a sentence, so let's see how we can add some CSS code to our tags in lesson 4.
