Editors should avoid manually inserting large and small font sizes into prose. Increased and decreased font size should primarily be produced through automated facilities such as headings or through carefully designed templates. Below is one list of font sizing templates that have been tested and are available if needed:
| Code for inline content | Code for block content | Size | Result |
|---|---|---|---|
{{small|text}} | {{smalldiv|text}} | 85% | text |
{{resize|text}} | {{resizediv|text}} | 90% | text |
| none | none | 100% | text |
{{large|text}} | {{largediv|text}} | 120% | text |
{{huge|text}} | 180% | text | |
{{resize|x%|text}} | {{resizediv|x%|text}} | custom | varies |
{{font|size=x%}} | custom | varies |
How to reduce or enlarge font sizes
Example: {{big|Will make the text here larger}} renders as: Will make the text here larger
Also, works with Unicode and IPA. Example: {{big|{{unicode|ὡ}}}} renders as: ὡ
