When my text does not have any special css nor does it need to

  • 0

When my text does not have any special css nor does it need to be modified by JavaScript, is there any point (excluding meaningless standards) of using <span> instead of just typing the text in? e.g.

<body>
   <span>Text</span>
</body>

vs

<body>
   Text
</body>

    It shouldn’t.

    As steveax suggests, MDN reference

    The 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. It should be used only when no other semantic element is appropriate. is very much like a element, but is a block-level element whereas a is an inline element.
