HTML Small Tag Tutorial

Browser Support

The HTML small tag makes text smaller.

Like you couldn't have figured that out.

Yes, it's as obvious as it sounds, it makes text one size smaller than the default size, the coded size, or the inherited size. Here's how to use it:

<small>your text</small>

And that would render text like in this sentence, which I have enclosed in the HTML small element.

You can control how much smaller it renders text by setting the font size for it using CSS. You could even have the small tag make text bigger. Yeah, live up to that "weirdo" rep you've got.
