For the life of me, I can't figure out what you mean by "letter
by letter wrapping". As I increase the font size, the H1 and P
contents both wrap at *word* boundaries. And that behavior's the
same whether each is declared block or inline, so I'm not sure
what your goal is.

But you can't have block elements like H1 and P contained in an
inline element like SPAN. And in this case the SPAN seems utterly
extraneous -- try removing it and styling the H1 and P directly.

HTH, and apologies if I've missed something key!
