🧩 Example of Using the span Tag

The  tag allows you to apply different styles to parts of a link text. For example, you can make part of the text bold or change the color of specific words in the link text.

🎯 Common Style Settings

You can apply various styles such as bold or color changes to specific parts of the link text, making them visually stand out. Below is an example using the  tag.

Here is the link text with blue bold text.

📝 Best Practices for Style Usage

The  tag is very useful when applying inline styles. However, if semantic emphasis is needed, consider using the  or  tags instead.

📌 Practical Techniques for Link Styling

When applying styles to specific parts of a link text, the  tag is very useful, but proper usage is important. Using semantic and visual emphasis appropriately can help create a more accessible webpage.

Best Practices for Styling

Applying styles to parts of a link text is particularly useful in cases such as:

Highlighting pricing information
Emphasizing key phrases for time-sensitive offers
Making verbs or call-to-action parts of links stand out

Consideration for Accessibility

In addition to simple visual effects, consider using  or  tags for better accessibility. For example: <a href="#">Now 50% OFF to buy</a>

Adjusting Hover Effects

If you are applying hover effects to the entire link, the effect will also apply to the  part. If you want a different hover effect for the  part, you can use a selector like a:hover span.

However, when changing styles for link text, be sure not to confuse the user's expectations. Overly flashy changes can actually reduce click-through rates, so it's important to maintain a balanced design.
