<p><span class="seoSummary"><strong>HTML <code>&lt;span&gt;</code> 요소</strong>는 구문 콘텐츠를 위한 통용 인라인 컨테이너로, 본질적으로는 아무것도 나타내지 않습니다. 스타일을 적용하기 위해서, 또는 {{htmlattrxref("lang")}} 등 어떤 특성의 값을 서로 공유하는 요소를 묶을 때 사용할 수 있습니다.</span> 적절한 의미를 가진 다른 요소가 없을 때에만 사용해야 합니다. <code>&lt;span&gt;</code>은 {{htmlelement("div")}}와 매우 유사하지만, {{htmlelement("div")}}는 <a href="/ko/docs/Web/HTML/Block-level_elements">블록 레벨 요소</a>인 반면 <code>&lt;span&gt;</code>은 <a href="/ko/docs/Web/HTML/Inline_elements">인라인 요소</a>입니다.</p>
