What is the <span>-tag for? Is it the same as the <div>-tag?

span tag is different from div tag.

The former is an inline-level element and the later is a block-level.

span tag is most used to hook a text in the document. When your element is inside the span tag, you have the ability to style them differently from the rest of the text.
