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

Usage

Beware

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

  1. Replace all instances of = with ((=)), or
  2. 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:

  1. Use, for example,
    <div style="font-size:90%;">
    ...multiple paragraphs...
    </div>, or
  2. Apply this template separately to each block of paragraph, bullet point etc.
  3. Use ((resize|div=yes)).
  4. Use ((smalldiv)).

Examples

Code Result
((resize|This text defaults to 90% normal size.)) This text defaults to 90% normal size.
((resize|80%|This text is 80% normal size.)) This text is 80% normal size.
((resize|1.2em|This text is 0.2em larger than normal.)) This text is 0.2em larger than normal.
((resize|We know 1+1=2 and 2+2=4. It will fail to render)) (({1))}
((resize|We know 1+1((=))2 and 2+2((=))4.)) We know 1+1=2 and 2+2=4.
((resize|1=We know 1+1=2 and 2+2=4.)) We know 1+1=2 and 2+2=4.
((resize|120%|2=We know 1+1=2 and 2+2=4. This text is 120% normal size.)) We know 1+1=2 and 2+2=4. This text is 120% normal size.
