Template:Resize/doc

A checked version of this page, approved on 17 October 2020, was based on this revision.

This content is in the Template Namespace. Used for page-templates that can be re-used across the wiki.

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.

It is to change the font size of a text string.

Usage

{{resize|N|text}} — N specifies a size, such as "95%", "1.2em", etc.
{{resize|text}} — If N is omitted, as in the second line above, a default 90% size is applied.

Beware

Beware that if text happens to contain an equality sign (=), it will fail to render properly. Here are the workarounds:

Replace all instances of = with {{}}, or
Specify {{resize|N|2=text}} or {{resize|1=text}}.

Also it will fail to wrap multiple blocks, such as multiple paragraphs or multiple bullet points. Here are the workarounds:

Use, for example,
<div style="font-size:90%;">
...multiple paragraphs...
</div>, or
Apply this template separately to each block of paragraph, bullet point etc.
