In addition, this doesn't answer the question on how much of a negative value you need to completely negate the default value. Guess work doesn't have a place in a modern web design.

Nov 9, 2019 at 0:44 comment added ingyhere @Wolle Hmmm. It's an old comment, and I'm not sure of the concern -- If it's as to whether <SPAN> can utilize id or class tags, take a look at W3C. If the question is whether it can convey semantic meaning, see this answer. Technically, the <SPAN> tag is a non-semantic inline element by itself, but in some way that affords more flexibility in its re-use. Nowadays, I believe one can use the inline-block descriptor to allow a lot greater range of formatting options.

Aug 7, 2012 at 11:01 comment added user56reinstatemonica8 +1 for actually answering the guy's question ;) (though the span should ideally in real life have a class anyway for good practice futureproofing as well as semantics: if in future any javascript or new features development etc had a good reason to add extra spans to your content, things could get messy)

It is not necessary to position the list item tag, just the span.
