Template:Small
{{{1}}}
 | This template should not be used in citation templates such as Citation Style 1 and Citation Style 2, because it includes markup that will pollute the COinS metadata they produce; see COinS in Wikipedia. |
Usage[edit]
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
