* In the “font-emoticons.php” all the smileys are applied on a span tag. The problem
is that the author think the span tag can be self-closing. That is a flaw that
seldom is noticed, since most browsers correct the mistake in certain occasions.
* But the problem becomes very much evident and troublesome once you try to style
the smiley with css, let’s say make the size 80% of the surrounding text and
in another color. Then, the styling get applied not only on the smiley, but on
everything else after it.
* So to close the span properly, on line 36 change this:
`$code = '\\1\\2';`
* to this:
* `$code = '\\1\\2';`
