How do i ad <span></span> to the menu code?

[n00dles101]

or alternatively instead of editing the core files which as Thorsten has explained wil break your site if you update the core files, you could create a functions.php file in your template folder if it does not already exist.

Copy and paste the "get_navigation" function from the /admin/inc/theme_function.php file and rename the function to my_get_navigation or something similar.

CHange the line as outlined above to iclude your <span> tags then in you template call this function instead where your now calling get_navigation.
