--description--

You can use spans to create inline elements. Remember when we used the btn-block class to make the button fill the entire row?

normal button

btn-block button

That illustrates the difference between an "inline" element and a "block" element.

By using the inline span element, you can put several elements on the same line, and even style different parts of the same line differently.

Using a span element, nest the word love inside the p element that currently has the text Things cats love. Then give the span the class text-danger to make the text red.

Here's how you would do this for the p element that has the text Top 3 things cats hate:

<p>Top 3 things cats <span class="text-danger">hate:</span></p>

--hints--

Your span element should be inside your p element.

assert($('p span') && $('p span').length > 0);

Your span element should have just the text love.

assert(
  $('p span') &&
    $('p span').text().match(/love/i) &&
    !$('p span')
      .text()
      .match(/Things cats/i)
);

Your span element should have class text-danger.

assert($('span').hasClass('text-danger'));

Your span element should have a closing tag.

assert(
  code.match(/<\/span>/g) &&
    code.match(/<span/g) &&
    code.match(/<\/span>/g).length === code.match(/<span/g).length
);
