Usage

This template uses a <span> element for formatting.
Block-based templates and paragraph breaks cannot be nested inside it.

See H:DIVSPAN for details.

This is a font size template to simplify the formatting of text that is Smaller. Refer to the table below for specifics. This template is based on {{font-size-base}}.

Example

{{Smaller|Smaller}}

Smaller

Note that if you use the equals character "=", it can cause problems. Specifically, the template will think that whatever comes before the equals character is a parameter and the content won't display properly. Use {{=}} or = instead, or set the first parameter explicitly with 1=.

Example

{{Smaller|Note that if you use the equals character "=", it can cause problems.}}

{{{1}}}

Example

{{Smaller|Note that if you use the equals character "&equals;", it can cause problems.}}

Note that if you use the equals character "=", it can cause problems.

Example

{{Smaller|Note that if you use the equals character "{{=}}", it can cause problems.}}

Note that if you use the equals character "=", it can cause problems.

Example

{{Smaller|1=Note that if you use the equals character "=", it can cause problems.}}

Note that if you use the equals character "=", it can cause problems.

All Wikisource size templates are relative to the default size. There are two kinds of sizing template: inline and block templates. Inline templates are suitable for use within a paragraph, but can't handle paragraph breaks, and do not adjust line spacing. Block templates can handle paragraph breaks, and adjust line spacing, but are not suitable for use within a paragraph, as they will cause a paragraph break. See H:DIVSPAN for more details.

Font size definition by relative differences using words

The line heights of fonts greater than 100% increase proportionally with the font size. The line heights of fonts less than 100% are not proportional but inherit the line height of the font at the 100% size. The smaller the font, the greater the distance between rows of text. For these, see: Fonts smaller than 100% with proportional line heights.
