Template:Font-size/doc

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

See H:DIVSPAN for details.

Shortcut: {{fs}}

Purpose edit

This template simplifies formatting text that has a specified font-size in line. In contrast to {{font-size-x}}, it does not make sure the line-height is adjusted proportionally to the font size.

Examples edit

Example: Basic

{{font-size|150%|font-size}}

One of the planets that were known in ancient times is so difficult to observe as Mercury, and none presents so many obstacles to the study of its orbit and physical constitution. As to its orbit, Mercury is the only planet the course of which seems even now to have partly cut loose from the laws of universal gravitation, and the theory of which, although well built up by the genius of Leverrier, is still in considerable disagreement with the observations. The little we know of its physical construction is derived from the observations made a hundred years ago by Schroeter at Lilienthal. A telescopic examination of this planet is really a difficult affair.

Usage notes edit

sizes expressed as a percentage or in 'em' will give the best results
if the text being resized contains an equal sign it needs to be written as {{=}}

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.
