As ducky said, you can't have a "naked" span as a direct child of the <body>, much like you can't have a naked <i>, <b> etc. It's an inline element, not a block one.

Tidy will never insert that.

Notepad++ uses a proprietary and very,
very limited subset of common regex operations. I've transitioned to UltraEdit because of that limitation alone.
Sigil OTOH uses a very powerful Perl-like regex engine. It has its limitations, but it's still orders of magnitude more powerful than the one in Notepad++.
