title: Setting the width of inline elements
body: <blockquote>
    <p>You can set the width of inline elements like <code>&lt;span&gt;</code>, <code>&lt;em&gt;</code> and <code>&lt;strong&gt;</code>, but you won’t notice any effect until you position them.</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>a) I thought the width of inline an inline element can’t be set?
  <br></p>
  
  <p>b) Assuming width can be set - we won’t notice any effects ( thus the width we specify ) until we position inline element. Position how/where?
  <br></p>
  
  <p>c) Why is the width of inline elements apparent only when we “position” them? </p>
