CSS width of a tag

Question

I use `` tags in my module titles, e.g. `Categories.` I specify the span's background color/image, width and height in css. But the span's width depends on its content/text. So, if I do ``, with just a background image/color in css, nothing appears. Of course, I want something to appear. How can I resolve this?

Accepted Answer

You could explicitly set the display property to "block" so it behaves like a block level element, but in that case you should probably just use a div instead. ``` ```
