I don't really know, but it should only be used for adding a bit of style to a string of text.

<span style="font-family: arial; border: 1px solid #ccc; -moz-border-radius: 10px; -webkit-border-radius: 10px; padding: 10px; margin: 10px; background: #4cc147; color: #3eb3e9">Here is the output text.</span>

that is what is referred to as an "inline" style where the span tag is used to define a style with span tags

You can also use <style> tag to assign all the formatting to a <P> <a> or any other tag you like -Look at the tutorial it will go into that and how to use style sheets.
