Examples

Example: <span> as a named inline container

A <span> can wrap a portion of inline content so that it can be referenced by name elsewhere in the document.


Example: copying inline content with <span>

Because <span> is inline, its content flows with surrounding text and can be conditionally hidden, copied, or referenced like any other named component.

Attribute Examples

Attribute Example: hide

The hide attribute takes a boolean as input and can be used with any rendered component.
