<small> Usage:

  • the <small></small> tag
    <small>This text is smaller</small> than this text.
  • nested <small> tags make each nesting a little smallger:
    <small><small>This text is the smallest</small> but this text is smaller</small> than this text.

<small> Special Notes:

  • It is recommended that you avoid this tag in favor of style sheets.
  • Nested <small></small> tags are fine, but style sheets are easier to use and understand. Plus, not all browsers support mulitple levels of the small tag.
  • If you insert a <small></small> tag over text that is already font size 1, it will not get any smaller.
