General form

edit

This template renders one or more blocks of text in the appropriate smaller or larger font.

e.g. {{Font size block|font-size-name=smaller|{{lorem ipsum}}}} yields

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat. Duis aute irure dolor in reprehenderit in voluptate velit esse cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur. Excepteur sint occaecat cupidatat non proident, sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt mollit anim id est laborum.

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.

Example

{{Font size block/s|font-size-name=smaller}}{{lorem ipsum}}{{lorem ipsum}}{{Font size block/e}} yields

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.
