Template:X-smaller/doc

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

This template is used on many pages and changes may be widely noticed. Test changes in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them.

Usage

This template uses a <span> element for formatting.
Block-based templates and paragraph breaks cannot be nested inside it.

See H:DIVSPAN for details.

This is a font size template to simplify the formatting of text that is X-smaller. Refer to the table below for specifics.

Example

{{X-smaller|X-smaller}}

X-smaller

Note that if you use the equals character "=", it can cause problems. Specifically, the template will think that whatever comes before the equals character is a parameter and the content won't display properly. Use {{=}} or = instead, or set the first parameter explicitly with 1=.

Example

{{X-smaller|Note that if you use the equals character "=", it can cause problems.}}

{{{1}}}

Example

{{X-smaller|Note that if you use the equals character "&equals;", it can cause problems.}}

Note that if you use the equals character "=", it can cause problems.

Example

{{X-smaller|Note that if you use the equals character "{{=}}", it can cause problems.}}

Note that if you use the equals character "=", it can cause problems.

Example

{{X-smaller|1=Note that if you use the equals character "=", it can cause problems.}}

Note that if you use the equals character "=", it can cause problems.

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.
