If you switch from, say, <span> to <h1>, which is a good move for the 1st
level heading, then you need to take into account that elements like <h1>
have default formatting. For example, to remove the default bottom margin
for <h1>, looking like an empty line, you can use
h1 { margin-bottom: 0; }
in your CSS code.
