 | This template is used on approximately 131,000 pages. To avoid major disruption and server load, any changes should be tested in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. The tested changes can be added to this page in a single edit. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them. |
 | 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 Wikipedia:COinS. |
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}}.
