Purpose

edit

This template simplifies formatting text that has a specified font-size in line. In contrast to {{font-size}}, it does not make sure the line-height is adjusted proportionally to the font size.

Examples

edit

Example: Basic

{{font-size|150%|font-size}}

font-size


Example: Style

{{font-size|150%|style=color:#FF0000;|RED}}

RED


Example: Line-height

{{font-size|200%|Lorem<br />ipsum}}

Lorem
ipsum

{{font-size|200%|line-height=100%|Lorem<br />ipsum}}

Lorem
ipsum


Usage notes

edit
  • sizes expressed as a percentage or in 'em' will give the best results
  • if the text being resized contains an equal sign it needs to be written as {{=}}

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.
