Span should be used to decorate inline content, for example, if you want to decorate a word inside a paragraph, you write: <p> this is a <span class="example">paragraph</span>· </p> You then use CSS to decorate this word. Div is used to decorate block elements, for example, if you wanted to decorate two paragraphs, you would write: <div class="example"> <p> bluh bluh bluh </p> <p> bluh bluh bluh </p> </div>
