    copied!<p>By the <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/present/graphics.html#edef-FONT" rel="nofollow">HTML 4.01 specification</a>, the value of the <code>size</code> attribute in a <code>font</code> element has a numeric value, without any unit, and the value is taken as an index to a browser-dependent array of sizes. Besides, <code>4px</code> would make little size if taken as in CSS to mean 4 pixels – at that size, almost all fonts become illegible. Spaces are significant in font names, so <code>HelveticaNeue</code> is quite different from <code>Helvetica Neue</code>. And the <code>color</code> attribute value must be either a 6-digit hexcode prefixed by <code>#</code> or one of the keywords defined in the spec.</p> <p>The spurious <code>&lt;/span&gt;</code> tag is a syntax error but normally ignored by browsers. However, if there was a preceding <code>&lt;span&gt;</code> tag that hasn’t had a matching end tag yet, then (as part of common error recovery) the end tag ends its effect.</p> <p>So it’s a miracle that the code works anywhere. It does that only because you are using it in a special environment where <code>font</code> markup is interpreted in a manner that happens to coincide with your expectations.</p> <p>Provided that by <code>4px</code> you don’t mean 4 pixels but HTML size 4 in a scale from 1 to 7, the size next larger than the default, then the following would be conforming:</p> <pre><code>&lt;font size="4" face="Helvetica Neue" style="color:#313131;"&gt;Text hereABC&lt;/font&gt; </code></pre> <p>though most people would regard the use of CSS as more appropriate. In CSS, you can use e.g. color values like <code>rgb(49,49,49)</code>.</p>
