To modify the size of a few words within a block of text, use the appropriate inline template (<span>)—this will modify the span without breaking up the text, and without interfering in block-level properties like line spacing.
As open and close tags
[edit]This template is also available in an open and close format where the <div> needs to span a page break in the Page namespace.
- {{Font size block/s}} to open
- {{Font size block/e}} to close
- Example
{{Font size block/s|font-size-name=smaller}}{{lorem ipsum}}{{lorem ipsum}}{{Font size block/e}}

[edit]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.
Font size definition by relative differences using words
 | The line heights of fonts greater than 100% increase proportionally with the font size. The line heights of fonts less than 100% are not proportional but inherit the line height of the font at the 100% size. The smaller the font, the greater the distance between rows of text. For these, see: Fonts smaller than 100% with proportional line heights. |
