To expand a little on what ben has said about span use the site I gave
early, check out their css section on tags and properties etc:
http://www.w3schools.com/css/default.asp

but basically if you wanted to change the text colour for example in a
paragraphy I would something like this:


some text, some text, some more text
some text, some text, some more text
some text, some text, some more text

*note: use you can use words like red and black, or hex colours #000000
which is black*

This will change that little section to red text where as the rest will be
as you define paragraphs or that paragraph in your style sheet.
