How do I use an Inspector to find the HTML in a theme's PHP files?

I'm working on a Wordpress website for someone and I have a question. I used an inspector (firebug) to check out the html of my site but I need to know where to find that bit of code in the Wordpress theme (Spacing) php files. There's no search all feature and going through all of them separately is ridiculous.

I really appreciate any help you can offer!!

I found an article on it (https://wordpress.org/support/topic/search-through-php-files) but there really wasn't a solution. If I can find what I'm looking for in the HTML (it's a menu name by the way), why can't I go find it in the theme files??

I don't know if this matters but the HTML is a body class to a couple of div classes to a ul id to li id to an a class.

WP does not contain ant HTML page. Everything in WordPress php file. If your page is created in page section you have to check in page.php file in /wp-content/themes/{your theme name}/page.php or if your page is posts you to check in post.php

What you want to change in WordPress site ?

If you go into the back-end/admin section and click "Pages". Find the page you are working on and click edit. In the "Page Attributes" you can see what "Template" it is using.

Then you can find that template in /wp-content/themes/yourtheme/

EDIT: More than likely the header and navigation is located in the "header.php" file in the themes folder.
