Template:Small

{{{1}}}

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

Usage

This template is a replacement for <small>...</small>. Not all browsers render <small> at the same size, so this template uses <small style="font-size:85%;"> to use the semantics of <small> while ensuring that the font renders the same size.

The only parameter is the content and may contain templates, images, etc., if a block needs to be wrapped in this template and contains such elements. Note that if the = character appears in the content, the parameter must be explicitly specified as |1=.

Thus {{small|1=3 + 2 = 5}} produces 3 + 2 = 5
