; It's a pretty easy fix: just add "|span|/span" to the end of the
string
;passed to nobreaktags.Pattern("...") on line 85 of HTML.cc (in 3.1.6).
;I had put font tags in the list for this very reason, but I didn't put
in
;span.
;I'm really ignorant when it comes to CSS tags in HTML, but are span
tags
;just used for font and style changes which shouldn't trigger a word
break,
;or are there other uses of <span ...> which should cause word breaks?
;In any case, it would probably make sense to have this list settable by
;config attribute, to allow adapting to varying needs and evolving
;standards.
<span> tags have been around for ever, but they don't do anything.
They're just a container. They're related to a <div> tag which implies
a break. <span> tags should not imply a break and really should just be
invisible to robots (IMHO). I'll make the change you recommended.
Couldn't we just as easily add the <sub> and <sup> tags? Or is that a
quick hack in comparison to some other solution?
