You can use spans to create inline elements. Remember when we used the btn-block class to make the button fill the entire row?

<button class='btn' style='background-color: rgb(0, 100, 0); color: rgb(255, 255, 255);'>normal button</button>

<button class='btn btn-block' style='background-color: rgb(0, 100, 0); color: rgb(255, 255, 255);'>btn-block button</button>

That illustrates the difference between an "inline" element and a "block" element.

By using the inline span element, you can put several elements on the same line, and even style different parts of the same line differently.

Using a span element, nest the word love inside the p element that currently has the text Things cats love. Then give the span the class text-danger to make the text red.

Here's how you would do this for the p element that has the text Top 3 things cats hate:

html
<p>Top 3 things cats <span class="text-danger">hate:</span></p>

--hints--

Your span element should be inside your p element.

js
assert.lengthOf(document.querySelectorAll('p span'),1);

Your span element should have just the text love.

js
assert.match(document.querySelector('p span')?.textContent,/love/i);
assert.notMatch(document.querySelector('p span')?.textContent, /Things cats/i);

Your span element should have class text-danger.

js
assert.isTrue(document.querySelector('span')?.classList?.contains('text-danger'));

Your span element should have a closing tag.

js
assert.match(code,/<\/span>/g);
assert.match(code,/<span/g);
assert.equal(code.match(/<\/span>/g).length,code.match(/<span/g).length);
