How can I insert a custom `<span>` element in a Documenter.jl markdown file?

Specifically, I would like to create HTML like the following:

```julia
Lorem ipsum <span style="color: #f00;">dolor</span> sit amet. 

```

The following bit of markdown comes close, but it splits “Lorem ipsum”, “dolor” and “sit amet” into three paragraphs which is a deal breaker.

````julia
Lorem ipsum
```@raw html
<span style="color: #f00;">dolor</span>
```
sit amet
