Template:EB1911 fine print/e
Purpose[edit]
This template is used to format the fine-print sections of articles from 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica. It differs from the {{font-size-x}} template in that it also proportionally reduces the line height a bit.
Usage[edit]
 | This template uses block elements, e.g. See H:DIVSPAN for details. |
For example, many articles have bibliographies at the end which are printed with a smaller-sized font. These sections would be handled as follows:
... Gellert wrote a few comedies: ''Die''
''Betschwester'' (1745), ''Die kranke Frau'' (1748), ''Das Los in der''
''Lotterie'' (1748), and ''Die zärtlichen Schwestern'' (1748), the last of
which was much admired. His novel ''Die schwedische Gräfin''
''von G.'' (1746), a weak imitation of Richardson's ''Pamela'', is
remarkable as being the first German attempt at a psychological
novel. Gellert's ''Briefe'' (letters) were regarded at the time as
models of good style.
{{EB1911 fine print/s}}
See Gellert's ''Sämtliche Schriften'' (first edition, 10 vols., Leipzig,
1769-1774; last edition, Berlin, 1867). ''Sämtliche Fabeln und Erzählungen''
have been often published separately, the latest edition in
1896. A selection of Gellert's poetry (with an excellent introduction)
will be found in F. Muncker, ''Die Bremer Beiträge'' (Stuttgart, 1899).
A translation by J. A. Murke, ''Gellert's Fables and other Poems''
(London, 1851). For a further account of Gellert's life and work
see lives by J. A. Cramer (Leipzig, 1774), H. Döring (Greiz, 1833),
and H. O. Nietschmann (2nd ed., Halle, 1901); also ''Gellerts''
''Tagebuch aus dem Jahre 1761'' (2nd ed., Leipzig, 1863) and ''Gellerts''
''Briefwechsel mit Demoiselle Lucius'' (Leipzig, 1823).

Usage tips[edit]
Start and end versions[edit]
Where formatting continues through the termination of a page, or there are line breaks, {{EB1911 fine print/s}} and {{EB1911 fine print/e}} should be used.
Need to use {{EB1911 fine print/s}} and {{EB1911 fine print/e}} templates to show the reduced line height, as in example above.
Both templates should be placed on a line of their own, and not on the same line as any of the text they surround.
Single version[edit]
When using {{EB1911 fine print|Fine-print text here.}} and the text contains an equal sign(s), each occurrence of = must be replaced by {{=}}. This template does not work reliably across paragraphs, so the easiest procedure is to apply it paragraph by paragraph when multiple adjacent paragraphs appear in fine print. However, if adjacent fine-print paragraphs contain no links or templates, often one instance of this template can enclose them all.
