Template:Small/doc

This is a documentation subpage for Template:Small.
It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page.

Usage

{{small}} is a front-end for the HTML element <small>, which is used to make text smaller.

Parameters

There are 4 parameters, of which 1 is unnamed and required, and the other 3 are named and optional.

Syntax

The template's syntax is

• {{small|custom text |class= |id= |style= }}

Required parameter

1

Custom text

The text you wish to enclose in <small> tags.

Usage

• {{small|1}}

Optional parameters

class

Custom class

Attribute a CSS class to the text string.

Usage

• {{small|1|class=}}

id

Custom id

Give the text string a custom id.

Usage

• {{small|1|id=}}

style

Custom text styling

You can override the default output styling by using this parameter to specify CSS properties with appropriate values.

Note

• When entering the CSS properties and values, use the normal format, separating the property from its value with a colon (:), and ending each property:value pair with a semicolon (;), e.g. css-property-1:value; css-property-2:value; css-property-3:value;. But, don't enclose the entry in double quotation marks ("…"). That is done automatically.

Usage

• {{small|1|style=property-1:value1;property-2:value2;}}
