HTML - <small> Tag
HTML <small> tag is used to present copyright and legal text and other side comments. The <small> tag is by default small in font size and decreases the font size by one size (from medium to small, from x-large to large) and displays it inline.
When we use the <small> tag in a nested form, the <small> tag will change the font size of the text in between it with respect to the parent tag’s font size.
Syntax
<small>.....</small>
Examples of HTML small Tag
Bellow examples will illustrate the usage of small tag, where, when and how to use to small tag to show small texual content.
Creating small element using <small> tag
In the following example, we are creating an HTML document and using the <small> tag to represent the text in a small font.
<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <body> <h2> tutorialspoint </h2> <small> Example of small tag! </small> <p> This is the first sentence. <small>This whole sentence is in small letters.</small> </p> </body> </html>
Styling the small element using CSS
Considering the following example, we are using the <small> tag as well as CSS properties to style the content of the small tag.
<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <style> h2 { color: green; } span { color: black; } small { font-style: italic; color: green; font-family: courier; } </style> </head> <body> <h2> tutorials <span>point</span> </h2> <small> Example of small tag! </small> <p> This is the first sentence. <small>This whole sentence is in small letters. </small> </p> </body> </html>
Using <small> tag in nested way
Let's look at the following example, where we are using the <small> tag in a nested form, which means the <small> tag will change its font with respect to its surroundings.
<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <style> p { font-size: 18px; } </style> </head> <body> <h2>Welcome To tutorialspoint</h2> <p> A nested small tag changes its font size with respect to the parent tag's font size! </p> <p> This is the first sentence. <small>This whole sentence is in small letters.</small> </p> </body> </html>
Using <small> tag in non-nested way
Following is the example, where we are going to use the <small> tag in a non-nested form, if <small> tag is used as a separate tag, then changing the font size of any tag will not affect the font size of the <small> tag.
<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <style> p { font-size: 25px; } </style> </head> <body> <h2>Welcome To tutorialspoint</h2> <p>This is tutorialspoint </p> <small>Easy to learn! </small> </body> </html>
