[edit] Rewrite (it has been backed out)

I'm boldly rewriting this template. Hopefully, I'm not being too bold here. After this rewrite, {{Span}} will supply the </Span> tag internally, and {{Endspan}} will be deprecated. The rewrite revises the template usage along the lines of {{sup}}, {{sub}}, etc.

Please note that I have created a documentation page for this template. If this rewrite is reverted, please adjust the documentation page.

If I am being too bold here, please let me know why this was a bad idea.

Note that no articles currently link to {{Span}}[1], and the only current links to {{Endspan}} are from {{Span}} and from Userspace pages[2]. -- Boracay Bill (talk) 03:13, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

(update) I thought that I had this working, but I discovered that the rewritten template was having problems nesting with other text formatting templates. I backed out the rewrite and documented my understanding of the usage of the companion {{span}} and {{endspan}} pair of templates. -- Boracay Bill (talk) 07:41, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
