{{{1}}}
This template is used on many pages and changes may be widely noticed. Test changes in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them. |
This template should not be used in citation templates such as Citation Style 1 because it includes markup that will pollute the COinS metadata they produce; see Wikipedia:COinS. |
It is to change the font size of a text string.
Usage
{{resize|N|text}}
— N specifies a size, such as "95%", "1.2em", etc.{{resize|text}}
— If N is omitted, as in the second line above, a default 90% size is applied.{{resize|div=yes|text}}
— As above but uses a div tag instead of a span tag.
Beware
Beware that if text
happens to contain an equality sign (=
), it will fail to render properly. Here are the workarounds:
- Replace all instances of
=
with{{=}}
, or - Specify
{{resize|N|2=text}}
or{{resize|1=text}}
.
Also it will fail to wrap multiple blocks, such as multiple paragraphs or multiple bullet points. Here are the workarounds:
- Use, for example,
<div style="font-size:90%;">
...multiple paragraphs...</div>
, or - Apply this template separately to each block of paragraph, bullet point etc.
- Use {{resize|div=yes}}.
- Use {{smalldiv}}.
