The <div> tag defines the start of a division/section in a document.
However - browsers usually place a line break before the <div> tag.

Helpful Tip: Use the <div> tag to group block-elements to format them with
styles.

source from http://www.w3schools.com/html/attr_div.asp


For example:

<style type="text/css">
.forshow{
color: #f00;
font-size: 10px;
background-color: #fff;
}
</style>


<div class="forshow">This text will be red with a white background</div>

You could also do:

<span class="forshow">This text will be red with a white background</span>

The SPAN is another way of doing almost the same thing. However you won't
have any browsers putting a block around your text. It will only control
your text.
