Template:Smalldiv

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

Usage

Use this template instead of {{small}} or ‎<small>...‎</small> to wrap multiple lines of text, or to wrap a template that contains ‎<div>...‎</div> tags.

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

The only parameter, |, 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 {{[[Template:= |= ]]}}, or the content must be explicitly preceded with |1=. See examples in the table below. Pages ignoring this instruction are likely to appear in Category:Pages using small with an empty input parameter (2).

Examples of uses for {{smalldiv}}

input	shows
{{smalldiv| *One *Two *Three}}	One Two Three
{{smalldiv|{{unbulleted list|One|Two|Three}}}}	One Two Three
{{smalldiv|{{hlist|One|Two|Three}}}}	One Two Three
{{smalldiv|{{hidden||{{nowrap|Ichirō Hatoyama – 394<br/>Nobusuke Kishi – 4<br/>''Others'' – 15}}}}}}	Ichirō Hatoyama – 394 Nobusuke Kishi – 4 Others – 15
Example with = character in the content (error): {{smalldiv|Ichirō Hatoyama = 394<br/>Nobusuke Kishi = 4<br/>''Others'' = 15}}	{{{1}}}
Example with = character in the content using |1=: {{smalldiv|1=Ichirō Hatoyama = 394<br/>Nobusuke Kishi = 4<br/>''Others'' = 15}}	Ichirō Hatoyama = 394 Nobusuke Kishi = 4 Others = 15

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#Font size 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.
