Template:Smalldiv/doc

Usage
Use this template instead of small or  to wrap multiple lines of text, or to wrap a template that contains tags.

This template is a drop-in replacement for small templates or  tags that wrap multiple lines or wrap a template containing tags. When a small template or  tags wrap multiple lines, Linter errors are caused, typically "Missing end tag", "Misnested tag", or "Stripped tag".

The only parameter, undefined, is the content that is intended to be rendered at a font size of 85% of normal.

Note that if the  character appears in the content, it should be replaced with =, or the content must be explicitly preceded with 1. See examples in the table below. Pages ignoring this instruction are likely to appear in.

When not to use this template
Remember to "avoid using smaller font sizes in elements that already use a smaller font size, such as infoboxes, navboxes and reference sections", per MOS:ACCESS and MOS:SMALLFONT. Using this template within an infobox or a navbox reduces the text size to about 75%, which is smaller than the 85% limit prescribed by the MOS guideline.
