I know that the <font> tag is depricated, but what's it's replacement? Sometimes I can use the <div> tag and a stylesheet, but that tag leaves a newline after it's closed. So now I'm using the <span> tag when I need to manipulate text. Is this how it should be done or is there something that I'm missing?
Span is exactly how it should be done.
Yeah span is correct, although you should use a more appropriate tag if there is one, e.g. use <abbr> if the selected text is an abbreviate, or <acronym> if it's, well, and acronym ;), etc, i.e. only use span when there is no more appropriate a tag.
I'd try to just apply a style to the best html tag that represents the content - span and div make it easy to apply arbitrary styles to text, but the other tags better represent your content.
Cool, thanks :) I was really confused about this for some reason.
