 * Having a custom button for adding span with class to a heading would mean a lot
   to me. Currently I am doing this manually in text version of tinyMce editor.
   
   Is it possible with small code?
 * For example for…
    `<h2>Nikola Tesla (1856. - 1943.)</h2>` …I would like to select
   years and with a click of a button do this <h2>Nikola Tesla <span class=”year”
   >(1856. – 1943.)</span></h2>
 * I couldnt find a plugin which does this.

 * It’s pretty code intensive… but [these guys](http://code.tutsplus.com/tutorials/guide-to-creating-your-own-wordpress-editor-buttons--wp-30182)
   have a really good tutorial.
