View source for Template:Resize/doc/main

<div>{{view|Template:Resize/doc/main|edit|brackets=yes}} It is to change the font size of a text string.</div>

== Usage ==
* {{tc|resize|''N''|''text''}} — ''N'' specifies a size, such as "95%", "1.2em", etc.
* {{tc|resize|''text''}} — If ''N'' is omitted, as in the second line above, a default 90% size is applied.
* {{tc|resize|2=div=yes|3=''text''}} — As above but uses a div tag instead of a span tag.

=== Beware ===
'''{{red|Beware}}''' that if <code>''text''</code> happens to contain an equality sign (<code>=</code>), it will fail to render properly. Here are the workarounds: 
# Replace '''all''' instances of <code>=</code> with {{tlx|{{=}}}}, or
# Specify <code>{{tlf|resize|''N''|'''2&#61;'''''text''}}</code> or <code>{{tlf|resize|'''1&#61;'''''text''}}</code>.

Also it will fail to wrap multiple blocks, such as multiple paragraphs or multiple bullet points. Here are the workarounds: 
# Use, for example, <br/><code>&lt;div style="font-size:90%;"></code><br/>...''multiple paragraphs''...<br/><code>&lt;/div></code>, or
# Apply this template separately to each block of paragraph, bullet point etc.
# Use {{tlf|resize|2=div=yes}}.
# Use {{tl|smalldiv}}.
