<h2 id="Summary" name="Summary">Resumo</h2>

<p>O elemento <strong>HTML <code>&lt;span&gt;</code> é um conteiner generico em linha para conteúdo fraseado </strong>, que não representa nada por natureza. Ele pode ser usado para agrupar elementos para fins de estilo (usando os atributos <code>class</code> ou <code>id</code> ), ou para compartilhar valores de atributos como <code>lang</code>. Ele deve ser usado somente quando nenhum outro elemento semântico for apropriado. <code>&lt;span&gt;</code> é muito parecido com o elemento {{HTMLElement("div")}} , entretando  {{HTMLElement("div")}} é um elemento de nível de bloco enquanto <code>&lt;span&gt;</code> é um elemento em linha.</p>
