The <span> HTML element is a generic inline container for phrasing content, which does not inherently represent anything. It can be used to group elements for styling purposes (using the class or id attributes), or because they share attribute values, such as lang .

Should I use P or span?

Semantically speaking, a p is a paragraph tag and should be used to format a paragraph of text. A span is an inline formatting change that isn't handled semantically. A span is an inline formatting element that does NOT have a line feed above or below.

What is the difference between Span and P?

Well answer to your question is yes and no,What I mean by that is "p" is a block level tag for paragraphs. "span" is a line level tag that in and of itself doesn't do anything, but is useful for defining a specific style to a string. "span" can be used within "p", but "p" cannot be used within "span".
