+    There is an `html` module that allows you to insert other HTML elements like `<span>`, `<div>`, `<p>`, etc.
+    It is equivalent to using the `ui.element` method with the `tag` argument.
+
+    Like with any other element, you can add classes, style, props, tooltips and events.
+    One convenience is that the keyword arguments are automatically added to the element's `props` dictionary.
