Is there any HTML element which acts just as a shadow in the DOM? I am using a templating system and I don't want the template/shadow element to affect my DOM. Example...
<div class='container'>
<shadow>
<span>1</span>
<span>2</span>
</shadow>
</div>
I want to have just the div and the spans in the DOM, with the template/shadow element acting as a ghost and not affecting structure and giving direct relation between the div and the span.
