The <div> Tag

1. The div tag is used to specify a section within an HTML document. Anything from text to images to videos can be placed within a div.
2. Divs are similar to paragraphs but they are easier to use, customizable with CSS, and load faster than tables. 

The Difference

1. The primary difference between tne <span> and <div> element is that snap doesn't do any formatting of it's own. The <div> element includes a paragraph break.
2. The <span>element simply tells the browser to apply the style rules to whatever is within the <span>.
3. Another difference is that <span> is an inline element and <div> is a block level element
