HTML <span> tag
The span tag in HTML is used as an inline container element to mark up a specific or special chunk of a text or a section of a page.
If you want to edit or add any validation, you may do that using JavaScript with the aid of the class or id property in HTML. If you want to customize the span tag, you can simply do it by using CSS (cascading style sheet).
