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.((resize|div=yes|text))— As above but uses a div tag instead of a span tag.
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.
- Use ((resize|div=yes)).
- Use ((smalldiv)).
