span is an inline element of html.. It is a tag not an attribute.. and when you insert anything between span tag then it won't give a line break after it. i.e. it won't behave like block elements as( div, h1 or p)..

Just additional info: The span tag is like the div tag. Is mostly used for styling by using an id or class. The difference between the two is that div is a block element, It's on a seperate line. spanhowever is an inline element, meaning that it can be on a line with other elements

In HTML span is one inline element/tag. We can use anywhere within other tags/separate. We can also apply styles for that span &more than one spans mention with class name, and apply styles. ex:1 <h1>India celebrating 71<sup>st<sup> <span> Independence day</span.> here directly apply any style u need. ex:2 <p>Hello <span class="testing">World</span> but, here take class name i.e., testing then , apply styles. Not only these 2 tags in div, id, buttons, a tag etc., any place u use.
