Problem with template tags and

I’ve been to add <span>-tags around using the parameter in the template tag, but it keeps messing with the author names by cutting away one or more characters.

The odd thing is that it works perfectly when using <p>-tags in stead of <span>-tags.

So basically the examples does not work:

coauthors_posts_links( '</span><span>', '</span><span>', '<span>', '</span>', false ) coauthors( '</span><span>', '</span><span>', '<span>', '</span>', false )
coauthors_links( '</span><span>', '</span><span>', '<span>', '</span>', false )

Whiles these work without any problems:

coauthors_posts_links( '</p><p>', '</p><p>', '<p>', '</p>', false )
coauthors( '</p><p>', '</p><p>', '<p>', '</p>', false )
coauthors_links( '</p><p>', '</p><p>', '<p>', '</p>', false )

Any ideas
