Quat harvest projections are <span style="font-size: larger">bigger than ever</span>!
Like any other physical or content-based style tag,
<span>
tags can be
nested and may contain other tags.
The
<span>
tag also supports the many common tag attributes. The
style
and
class
attributes, of course, let you control the display style; the
id
and
title
tag attributes let you uniquely label its contents; the
dir
and
lang
attributes let you specify its native language; and the many
on
-event attributes let you react to user-initiated mouse and keyboard
actions on the contents. Not all are implemented by the currently popu-
lar browsers for this tag or for many others. [
