Is it wise / good practice to give the SPAN tag different classes within a DIV. For example styling paragraphs of text that need a specific layout / position colour etc… ?
Or are there better / more efficient ways?

You would have less HTML if you gave the paragraph itself the class, rather than wrapping the contents of a paragraph with a
span, but it’s perfectly possible to do what you’ve said. You can of course give multiple paragraphs the same class:HTML:
Or give the
diva class and select the paragraphs using that.HTML:
CSS:
Or each one a different class giving you plenty of flexibility
HTML:
If you need to just highlight different bits of a single paragraph, then a
spanis acceptable, but don’t forget to consider ready made tags likestrongorem.
