Is It Possible to Use a <span> Within Another <span>
Using the HTML <span> element
As we know, the <span> tag is a generic inline-level container for phrasing content, and it groups elements for styling purposes. It uses the class and id attributes.
According to the HTML5 specification, the <span> element is a generic inline container for phrasing content. Nesting <span> elements is valid, though it is often unnecessary; consider using semantic HTML elements or applying CSS classes directly to a single <span> when possible.
The <span> element along with the id and class attributes offers a generic mechanism to add structure to documents. It defines the content to be inline, but does not require any other presentational idiom on the content.
Example of using a <span> within another <span>:
html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Title of the document</title>
</head>
<body>
<span>
<span>A span element</span>
</span>
</body>
